NANOG | Homeobox protein NANOG; Transcription regulator involved in inner cell mass and embryonic stem (ES) cells proliferation and self-renewal. Imposes pluripotency on ES cells and prevents their differentiation towards extraembryonic endoderm and trophectoderm lineages. Blocks bone morphogenetic protein-induced mesoderm differentiation of ES cells by physically interacting with SMAD1 and interfering with the recruitment of coactivators to the active SMAD transcriptional complexes. Acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor. Binds optimally to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-TAAT[GT][GT] [...] (305 aa) | ||||
RNASE10 | Inactive ribonuclease-like protein 10; Secreted proximal epididymal protein required for post- testicular sperm maturation and male fertility. May be involved in sperm adhesion to the egg zona pellucida. Does not have ribonuclease activity (By similarity). (216 aa) |
