Crx | Cone-rod homeobox protein; Transcription factor that binds and transactivates the sequence 5'-TAATC[CA]-3' which is found upstream of several photoreceptor-specific genes, including the opsin genes. Acts synergistically with other transcription factors, such as NRL, RORB and RAX, to regulate photoreceptor cell-specific gene transcription. Essential for the maintenance of mammalian photoreceptors. (323 aa) | ||||
Stxbp5l | Syntaxin-binding protein 5-like; Plays a role in vesicle trafficking and exocytosis inhibition. In pancreatic beta-cells, inhibits insulin secretion probably by interacting with and regulating STX1A and STX4, key t-SNARE proteins involved in the fusion of insulin granules to the plasma membrane. Plays also a role in neurotransmitter release by inhibiting basal acetylcholine release from axon terminals and by preventing synaptic fatigue upon repetitive stimulation. Promotes as well axonal outgrowth (By similarity). Belongs to the WD repeat L(2)GL family. (1185 aa) |
