EcR | Ecdysone receptor (EcR) encodes a protein that interacts with the product of usp to form the nuclear ecdysone receptor heterodimer, which modulates, in conjunction with co-activators and co-repressors, the activities of hundreds of genes in a tissue- and stage-specific way. EcR is widely expressed in embryonic and larval tissues and in some adult tissues where its activities (modulated by the hormone ecdysone) trigger both molting and metamorphosis. (878 aa) | ||||
Hmgcr | 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase; Synthesis of mevalonate for the production of non-sterol isoprenoids, which are essential for growth differentiation. Provides spatial information during embryogenesis to guide migrating primordial germ cells (the pole cells) from the ectoderm to the mesoderm. Also required for association of the pole cells with the gonadal mesoderm. Belongs to the HMG-CoA reductase family. (920 aa) |
