gt | Protein giant; Represses the expression of both the krueppel and knirps segmentation gap genes. Binds, in vitro, to the krueppel regulatory elements CD1 and CD2. It is required in the early embryo for the development of portions of the head and abdomen; Belongs to the bZIP family. (448 aa) | ||||
ham | Transcription factor hamlet; Transcription factor that plays a crucial role in external sensory organ (ESO) that elaborates from a single precursor cell (ESOP cell). Mediates the differentiation of lineage branch that generates the internal 'ES' and 'th' cells (external sensory neuron and thecogen cells, respectively) from the IIIB cell. Its absence leads to re- specification of IIIB daughter cells into external tormagen cells (tr cells), or internal multidendritic neurons (MD cells). One of its role in the development of the ESO lineage is to modulate the activity of Notch and PAX2 signals. (990 aa) |
