The protein encoded by this gene is a homeodomain protein that lacks certain conserved residues required for DNA binding. It was reported that choriocarcinoma cell lines and tissues failed to express this gene, which suggested the possible involvement of this gene in malignant conversion of placental trophoblasts.
The protein kinase domain is 330 amino acids long and is located near the N-terminus of the protein. [ 23 ] [ 24 ] In addition to its kinase domain, HIPK2 has two nuclear localization signals, [ 25 ] a SUMO interaction motif, [ 25 ] an auto-inhibitory domain [ 23 ] a transcriptional co-repression domain, [ 13 ] and several interaction domains ...
Homeobox genes encode homeodomain protein products that are transcription factors sharing a characteristic protein fold structure that binds DNA to regulate expression of target genes. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 2 ] Homeodomain proteins regulate gene expression and cell differentiation during early embryonic development, thus mutations in homeobox genes can ...
The same Hox protein can act as a repressor at one gene and an activator at another. The ability of Hox proteins to bind DNA is conferred by a part of the protein referred to as the homeodomain. The homeodomain is a 60-amino-acid-long DNA-binding domain (encoded by its corresponding 180-base-pair DNA sequence, the homeobox
The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that is highly expressed in the liver and is involved in the regulation of the expression of several liver-specific genes. [9] Mutations in the HNF1A gene have been known to cause diabetes. [10] The HNF1A gene also contains a SNP associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease ...
“Excess protein can be converted to fat, just like excess carbs can be converted to fat.” Some protein powders also have added sugar, and that can add extra calories, Gans says.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends 10% to 35% of your daily calories come from protein sources. A more common measure—which Amati and Sharp use ...
Homeobox protein Hox-C6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXC6 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Hox-C6 expression is highest in the fallopian tube and ovary. [ 8 ] HoxC6 has been highly expressed in many types of cancers including prostate, breast, and esophageal squamous cell cancer.
