Negatively regulates CTNNB1-targeted gene expression by being recruited specifically to the promoter regions of several CTNNB1 responsive [...] (2582 aa) |
| | Xrcc1 | DNA repair protein XRCC1; Involved in DNA single-strand break repair by mediating the assembly of DNA break repair protein complexes (By similarity). Probably during DNA repair, negatively regulates ADP-ribose levels by modulating ADP-ribosyltransferase PARP1 activity. (631 aa) |
| | Gas1 | Growth arrest-specific protein 1; Specific growth arrest protein involved in growth suppression. Blocks entry to S phase. Prevents cycling of normal and transformed cells. (384 aa) |
| | Tjp2 | Tight junction protein ZO-2; Plays a role in tight junctions and adherens junctions. (1167 aa) |
| | Cyp4f39 | Cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily f, polypeptide 39; Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. (532 aa) |
