MYOD1 | Myoblast determination protein 1; Acts as a transcriptional activator that promotes transcription of muscle-specific target genes and plays a role in muscle differentiation. Together with MYF5 and MYOG, co-occupies muscle-specific gene promoter core region during myogenesis. Induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts. Interacts with and is inhibited by the twist protein. This interaction probably involves the basic domains of both proteins (By similarity). (320 aa) | ||||
DGKZ | Diacylglycerol kinase zeta; Displays a strong preference for 1,2-diacylglycerols over 1,3-diacylglycerols, but lacks substrate specificity among molecular species of long chain diacylglycerols. Isoform 2 but not isoform 1 regulates RASGRP1 activity. Positively regulates insulin-induced translocation of SLC2A4 to the cell membrane in adipocytes (By similarity). Activates PIP5K1A activity via generation of phosphatidic acid ; Belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family. (1117 aa) |
