bcd | Homeotic protein bicoid; Segment polarity protein that provides positional cues for the development of head and thoracic segments. Regulates the expression of zygotic genes, possibly through its homeodomain, and inhibits the activity of other maternal gene products. May also bind RNA. Interacts with Bin1 to repress transcription of bicoid target genes in the anterior tip of the embryo; a process known as retraction. (494 aa) | ||||
Lsd-1 | Lipid storage droplet-1 (Lsd-1) encodes a protein associated with lipid droplets. It protects lipid droplets from lipase mediated remobilization and facilitates lipolysis by serving as an anchoring point for lipases such as the one encoded by Hsl. It is involved in lipid storage amount regulation and energy homeostasis in concert with the product of Lsd-2. (431 aa) |
