Mad | Mothers against dpp (Mad) encodes the primary transcription factor that mediates cellular response to the BMP like ligands encoded by dpp, scw and gbb. Upon phosphorylation by either the products of sax or tkv (type I BMP receptors), it forms a complex with the product of Med and translocates to the nucleus where, together with cofactors, it regulates expression of BMP response target genes; Belongs to the dwarfin/SMAD family.

sgll | Sugarlethal, isoform A; Sugarlethal (sgll) encodes pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase (PNPO). PNPO converts pyridoxine to its active form pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). PLP is a co-factor required for more than 100 enzymes that function in amino acid metabolism, gluconeogenesis and neurotransmitter synthesis. (246 aa) |
