Il20rb

Homo sapiens

IL20RB and IL20RA (MIM 605620) form a heterodimeric receptor for interleukin-20 (IL20; MIM 605619) (Blumberg et al., 2001 [PubMed 11163236]).[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2009]

bs

Drosophila melanogaster

blistered (bs) encodes the Drosophila ortholog of mammalian Serum Response Factor (SRF). It is a sequence-specific transcription factor contributing to intervein cell specification in the wing, tracheal terminal branching and flight muscle maturation.

ist-1

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable insulin receptor binding activity; phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase binding activity; and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase adaptor activity. Involved in dauer larval development; insulin receptor signaling pathway; and short-term memory.

Mrtf

Drosophila melanogaster

Myocardin-related transcription factor (Mrtf) encodes a protein that binds to the product of bs, and likely other transcription factors, to enhance downstream gene activation. The activity of the product of Mrtf is regulated by free actin levels. It contributes to tracheal branching, border cell migration, and other cell stretching and invasive migration processes during development.

ebo

Drosophila melanogaster

ellipsoid body open (ebo) encodes a protein that complexes with actin, the product of chic, and Ran-GTPase to mediate actin nuclear export. Loss of ebo during development results in defects in the ellipsoid body of the central complex. In the adult brain, accumulation of nuclear actin results in the inhibition of the product of bs and subsequent loss of visual orientation memory.

Acp1

Homo sapiens

The product of this gene belongs to the phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase family of proteins. It functions as an acid phosphatase and a protein tyrosine phosphatase by hydrolyzing protein tyrosine phosphate to protein tyrosine and orthophosphate. This enzyme also hydrolyzes orthophosphoric monoesters to alcohol and orthophosphate. This gene is genetically polymorphic, and three common alleles segregating at the corresponding locus give rise to six phenotypes. Each allele appears to encode at least two electrophoretically different isozymes, Bf and Bs, which are produced in allele-specific ratios. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
