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) | ||||
lectin-46Ca | lectin-46Ca (lectin-46Ca) encodes a protein with homology to C-type lectins. It is produced in the male accessory gland and transferred to females during mating. In mated females, it binds to sperm in the seminal receptacle. It is required for the binding of the product of SP to sperm, and for maintenance of long-term post-mating responses. (328 aa) |
