Homeobox protein Mohawk; May act as a morphogenetic regulator of cell adhesion. Belongs to the TALE/IRO homeobox family.

Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 2; Voltage-gated potassium channel that mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes, primarily in the brain. Mediates the major part of the dendritic A-type current I(SA) in brain neurons (By similarity). This current is activated at membrane potentials that are below the threshold for action potentials. It regulates neuronal excitability, prolongs the latency before the first spike in a series of action potentials, regulates the frequency of repetitive action potential firing, shortens the duration of action pote [...]

Iroquois-class homeodomain protein IRX-4; Likely to be an important mediator of ventricular differentiation during cardiac development.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta; Transcription factor, probably binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3'.

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SMYD1; Methylates histone H3 at 'Lys-4' (H3K4me), seems able to perform both mono-, di-, and trimethylation. Acts as a transcriptional repressor. Essential for cardiomyocyte differentiation and cardiac morphogenesis; Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily.

Iroquois-class homeodomain protein IRX-2; Iroquois homeobox 2.

Iroquois-class homeodomain protein IRX-3; Transcription factor involved in SHH-dependent neural patterning. Together with NKX2-2 and NKX6-1 acts to restrict the generation of motor neurons to the appropriate region of the neural tube. Belongs to the class I proteins of neuronal progenitor factors, which are repressed by SHH signals. Involved in the transcriptional repression of MNX1 in non-motor neuron cells. Acts as a regulator of energy metabolism.

Heart- and neural crest derivatives-expressed protein 2; Essential for cardiac morphogenesis, particularly for the formation of the right ventricle and of the aortic arch arteries. Required for vascular development and regulation of angiogenesis, possibly through a VEGF signaling pathway. Plays also an important role in limb development, particularly in the establishment of anterior- posterior polarization, acting as an upstream regulator of sonic hedgehog (SHH) induction in the limb bud. Is involved in the development of branchial arches, which give rise to unique structures in the he [...]
