Description: Sm and Sm-like (LSm) proteins form donut-shaped, ubiquitously expressed heptameric complexes that are involved in various steps of RNA metabolism, including RNA-protein interactions and structural changes that are required during ribosomal subunit assembly. LSm14B, also known as C20orf40, FAM61B or LSM13, is a 385 amino acid protein that exists as multiple alternatively spliced isoforms and may play a role in RNA-related events. The gene encoding LSm14B maps to human chromosome 20. Comprising approximately 2% of the human genome, chromosome 20 contains nearly 63 million bases that encode over 600 genes, some of which are associated with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, ring chromosome 20 epilepsy syndrome and Alagille syndrome.

Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth, and invasion. This gene is located in a region on chromosome X, which is associated with Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS), making it a possible candidate gene for familial cases of the BFLS, and for other syndromal and nonspecific forms of X-linked mental retardation mapping to this region. Fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13) is probably involved in nervous system development and function. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms with different N-termini.

Description: CLUAP1 (Clusterin associated protein 1) is a 413 amino acid nuclear protein that exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms that interact with Clusterin. CLUAP1 is suggested to play a role in apoptosis and cell proliferation, and is expressed in testis, thrachea and thyroid, with low levels found in adrenal gland and spinal cord. The gene encoding CLUAP1 maps to human chromosome 16, which encodes over 900 genes and comprises nearly 3% of the human genome. The GAN gene is located on chromosome 16 and, with mutation, may lead to giant axonal neuropathy, a nervous system disorder characterized by increasing malfunction with growth. The rare disorder Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is also associated with chromosome 16, as is Crohn's disease, which is a gastrointestinal inflammatory condition.

Description: Substrate recognition component of an SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Recognizes and binds phosphorylated sites/phosphodegrons within target proteins and thereafter bring them to the SCF complex for ubiquitination (PubMed:17434132). Identified substrates include cyclin-E (CCNE1 or CCNE2), JUN, MYC, NOTCH1 released notch intracellular domain (NICD), and probably PSEN1 (PubMed:11565034, PubMed:12354302, PubMed:11585921, PubMed:15103331, PubMed:14739463, PubMed:17558397, PubMed:17873522, PubMed:22608923). Acts as a negative regulator of JNK signaling by binding to phosphorylated JUN and promoting its ubiquitination and subsequent degradation (PubMed:14739463).

Description: Estrogen and progesterone receptor are members of a family of transcription factors that are regulated by the binding of their cognate ligands. The interaction of hormone-bound estrogen receptors with estrogen responsive elements(EREs) alters transcription of ERE-containing genes. The carboxy terminal region of the estrgen receptor contains the ligand binding domain, the amino terminus serves as the transactivation domain, and the DNA binding domain is centrally located. Two forms of estrogen receptor have been identified, ER Alpha and ER Beta. ER Alpha and ER Beta have been shown to be differentially activated by various ligands. The biological response to progesterone is mediated by two distinct forms of the human progesterone receptor (hPR-A and hPR-B), which arise from alternative splicing. In most cells, hPR-B functions as a transcriptional activator of progesterone-responsive gene, whereas hPR-A function as a transcriptional inhibitor of all steroid hormone receptors.

Description: Dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) constitute a large heterogeneous subgroup of the type I cysteine-based protein-tyrosine phosphatase superfamily. DUSPs are characterized by their ability to dephosphorylate both tyrosine and serine/threonine residues. DUSP7 belongs to a class of DUSPs, designated MKPs, that dephosphorylate MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) proteins ERK (see MIM 601795), JNK (see MIM 601158), and p38 (see MIM 600289) with specificity distinct from that of individual MKP proteins. MKPs contain a highly conserved C-terminal catalytic domain and an N-terminal Cdc25 (see MIM 116947)-like (CH2) domain. MAPK activation cascades mediate various physiologic processes, including cellular proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and stress responses

Description: Sulfonylureas are a class of drugs commonly used in the management of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. ENSA/ARPP-19, also known as ARPP-19e, is a 121 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm and belongs to the endosulfine family. ENSA/ARPP-19 is an endogenous regulator of the β-cell K(ATP) channels and reduces K(ATP) channel currents by inhibiting sulfonylurea from binding to the receptor thereby stimulating insulin secretion by pancreatic β cells. It is suggested that ENSA/ARPP-19 expression is decreased in brains of both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Down's syndrome patients. Widely expressed with high levels in skeletal muscle and brain and lower levels in pancreas, ENSA/ARPP-19 is phosphorylated by PKA and exists as eight alternatively spliced isoforms. ENSA/ARPP-19 is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 1q21.3.

Description: The leucine-rich (LRR) repeat is a 20-30 amino acid motif that forms a hydrophobic Alpha/Beta horseshoe fold, allowing it to accommodate several leucine residues within a tightly packed core. All LRR repeats contain a variable segment and a highly conserved segment, the latter of which accounts for 11 or 12 residues of the entire LRR motif. The LRRTM protein family plays a role in the regulation of various cellular events during nervous system development. Localizing predominantly to the nervous system, LRRTM family members are known to exhibit synaptogenic activity. LRRTM3 (leucine rich repeat transmembrane neuronal 3) is a 581 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein belonging to the LRRTM family. LRRTM3 is involved in the development and maintenance of the vertebrate nervous system, and contains ten LRR repeats. Expressed in neuronal tissues, LRRTM3 is encoded by a gene that maps to a region of chromosome 10 that has been linked to late-onset Alzheimer disease and elevated plasma Beta-Amyloid. As a result of alternative splicing events, two LRRTM3 isoforms exist.
