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) | ||||
zen2 | Protein zerknuellt 2; Zerknullt-related (zen2) encodes a member of the Antennapedia Complex (ANT-C), one of two Hox gene complexes. zen2 is similar in sequence and expression to the adjacent zen gene. The two are closely linked and they appear to be duplicate copies with zen being the ancestral member of the pair. Despite its similarity to zen, absence of zen2 function has no discernible effect on development or morphology. (252 aa) |
