grh | Protein grainyhead; Grainy head (grh) encodes the founding member of a highly conserved family of transcription factors essential for embryonic development. It is both a transcriptional activator and repressor, responsible for the proper expression of many genes primarily involved in epithelial cell fate, barrier formation, wound healing, tube morphogenesis and proliferation of larval neuroblasts; Belongs to the grh/CP2 family. Grainyhead subfamily. (1333 aa) | ||||
sel | Protein seele; Involved in embryonic dorsal-ventral patterning which is generated by a series of serine protease processing events where gd processes snk which cleaves ea which then processes spz into the activating ligand for the Toll receptor. Required during this process for the secretion of ea from the developing embryo into the perivitelline space and for ea processing. Belongs to the canopy family. (189 aa) |
