MAFA is a tissue specific transcription factor found in the nuclei of pancreas islet beta cells. MAFA specifically binds the insulin enhancer element RIPE3b and activates insulin gene expression. MAFA also cooperates synergistically with NEUROD1 and PDX1 in enhancing additional gene expression during development as well. Phosphorylation by GSK3 increases MAFA transcriptional activity and is required for its oncogenic activity. MAFA can be either an oncogene or act as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context.
Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor (GLP-1R) is the receptor for glucagon-like peptide 1 and is expressed in the pancreatic beta cells. Ligand binding activates adenyl-cyclase activity which results in increased insulin synthesis and release. GLP-1R is
Undifferentiated embryonic cell transcription factor 1 is a nucleus protein encoded by the UTF1 gene in human and functions as a transcriptional coactivator of ATF2. UTF1 is reported to interact with the ATF-2 metal binding motif via the leucine zipp
Sharpin, also known as Sharpin Shank-associated RH domain-interacting protein, Shank-interacting protein-like 1, hSIPL1, and encoded by the gene name SHARPIN/ SIPL1/ PSEC0216, is component of the LUBAC complex which conjugates linear polyubiquitin ch
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase synoviolin (UniProt Q86TM6; also known as Synovial apoptosis inhibitor 1) is encoded by the SYVN1 (also known as HRD1, KIAA1810) gene (Gene ID 84447) in human. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase synoviolin is a multi-transmembran
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2D (EC 2.1.1.43; UniProt O14686; also known as MLL4, ALL1-related protein, Lysine N-methyltransferase 2D) is encoded by the KMT2D (also known as MLL4, ALR, KABUK1, MLL2) gene (Gene ID: 8085) in human. MLL4 methylate
Properdin (UniProt P27918; also known as Complement factor P) is encoded by the CFP (also known as PFC, PFD) gene (Gene ID 5199) in human. Properdin is a plasma glycoprotein and the only known positive regulator of the complement cascade. It binds an
ALKBH1 is a DNA lyase that is critical for DNA repair and specifically repairs alkylated single-stranded DNA and RNA containing 3-methylcytosine by oxidative demethylation. ALKBH1 can also cleave both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA at basic
Bromodomain testis-specific protein (BRDT), also known as Bromodomain-containing female sterile homeotic-like protein, or RING3-like protein, and encoded by the gene BRDT/ FSRG3 is a testis-specific chromatin protein that binds specifically histone H
Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1, also known as Cell death protein RIP or Receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP-1) or Serine/threonine-protein kinase RIP, and encoded by the gene name RIPK1 or RIP or RIP1, contains 1 death domain
