FOXA1 | Hepatocyte nuclear factor 3-alpha; Transcription factor that is involved in embryonic development, establishment of tissue-specific gene expression and regulation of gene expression in differentiated tissues. Is thought to act as a 'pioneer' factor opening the compacted chromatin for other proteins through interactions with nucleosomal core histones and thereby replacing linker histones at target enhancer and/or promoter sites. Binds DNA with the consensus sequence 5'- [AC]A[AT]T[AG]TT[GT][AG][CT]T[CT]-3' (By similarity). Proposed to play a role in translating the epigenetic signatures [...] (472 aa) | ||||
BSPH1 | Binder of sperm protein homolog 1; Binds sperm in vitro and promotes sperm capacitation. Specifically promotes capacitation induced by high density lipoproteins (HDLs). Also binds heparin, phospholipid liposomes, and weakly to gelatin. Does not bind chondroitin sulfate B. (132 aa) |
