esg | Protein escargot; Transcription factor that can both stimulate and repress transcription. Binds to the consensus DNA sequence 5'-A/GCAGGTG-3'. Regulates cell motility and adhesion during tracheal morphogenesis by stimulating transcription of the DE-cadherin gene shg at branch tips, thereby promoting tracheal tube fusion. Maintains diploidy in imaginal cells by inhibiting the transcription of genes required for endoreplication. Required for development of the genital disk and acts as an intrinsic determinant of wing cell fate. The somatic protein is required for maintenance of male germ [...] (470 aa) | ||||
Hnf4 | Transcription factor HNF-4 homolog; Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (Hnf4) encodes a protein that regulates lipid mobilization and fatty acid beta-oxidation during larval stages. Its expression increases greatly at the onset of adulthood when it promotes glucose-stimulated ILP secretion from the insulin-producing cells, maintains glucose homeostasis, and supports mitochondrial function; Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily. (732 aa) |
