huntingtin
16 July 2003Huntingtin acts on the transcription of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and of many other neuronal genes and on BDNF transport.
Wild-type huntingtin sequesters Repressor element 1 (RE1)-silencing transcription factor (REST, also known as neuronal restrictive silencing factor, NRSF) in the cytoplasm in such a way that the co-repressor complex does not form at the RE1 (also known as the neuron-restrictive silencer element, NRSE) sites and the BDNF gene is transcribed.

CRELD1
29 September 2003CRELD1 codes for a cell adhesion molecule previously known as "cirrin". Locus AVSD2 (3p25). CRELD1 is the founding member of a family of matricellular proteins.
EGF domains
Epidermal growth factor-like repeats are a class of cysteine-rich domains that mediate interactions between proteins of diverse function. EGF domains are found in proteins that are either completely secreted or have transmembrane regions that tether the protein to the cell surface.

HOXD13
29 September 2003MIM.142989
HOXD13, the homeobox-containing gene located at the most 5’ end of the HOXD cluster, plays a critical role in limb development. It has been shown that mutations in human HOXD13 can give rise to limb malformations, with variable expressivity and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations.
Polyalanine expansions in HOXD13 cause synpolydactyly, whereas amino acid substitutions in the homeodomain are associated with brachydactyly types D and E.

BRCA1
29 September 2003Wikipedia
Definition: BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor that functions in controlling cell growth and maintaining genomic stability. The breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 encodes a zinc-finger protein of unknown function.
BRCA1 is a tumour suppressor that has important roles in the protection against genomic instability.
Cells lacking BRCA1 are hypersensitive to many DNA-damaging agents such as ultraviolet light and ionizing radiation, and show defects in both S- and (...)
