ph-d | Polyhomeotic distal (ph-d) encodes a stoichiometric subunit of the Polycomb repressive complex 1. The complex silences a variety of genes involved in developmental patterning, regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and polarity. Together with its paralog ph-p, ph-d functions as a tumor suppressor gene. (1537 aa) | ||||

Homeotic protein controlling Drosophila head development. Transcriptional activator of the apoptotic activator protein rpr in cells at the maxillary/mandibular boundary; Belongs to the Antp homeobox family. Deformed subfamily. (586 aa) |
