mRNA

Human NEUROG2 mRNA encodes a neural-specific basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that can specify a neuronal fate on ectodermal cells. NEUROG2 plays a role in the differentiation and survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons.

Human NEUROG3 mRNA encodes the human neurogenin 3 (NEUROG3) protein, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that involved in neurogenesis.

Human NFKB1 mRNA encodes the human nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 (NFKB1) protein, a transcription regulator that is activated by various intra- and extra-cellular stimuli such as cytokines, oxidant-free radicals, ultraviolet irradiation, and bacterial or viral products. Inappropriate activation of NFKB has been associated with a number of inflammatory diseases while persistent inhibition of NFKB leads to inappropriate immune cell development or delayed cell growth. NFKB is a critical regulator of the immediate-early response to viral infection.

Human NFKB2 mRNA encodes the human nuclear factor kappa B subunit 2 (NFKB2) protein, a subunit of the transcription factor complex nuclear factor-kappa-B (NFkB). The NFkB complex is expressed in numerous cell types and functions as a central activator of genes involved in inflammation and immune function. NFKB2 can function as either a transcriptional activator or repressor depending on its dimerization partner.

Human NRG1 mRNA encodes the human neuregulin 1 (NRG1) protein, a membrane glycoprotein that mediates cell-cell signaling. NRG1 plays a critical role in the growth and development of multiple organ systems.

Human NRG2 mRNA encodes the human neuregulin 2 (NRG2) protein, a novel member of the neuregulin family of growth and differentiation factors. Through interaction with the ERBB family of receptors, NRG2 can induce the growth and differentiation of epithelial, neuronal, glial, and other types of cells.

Human NRG3 mRNA encodes the human neuregulin 3 (NRG3) protein, a member of the neuregulin gene family. NRG3 has been shown to activate the tyrosine phosphorylation of its cognate receptor, ERBB4, and is thought to influence neuroblast proliferation, migration and differentiation by signalling through ERBB4. NRG3 also promotes mammary differentiation during embryogenesis.

Human NRG4 mRNA encodes the human neuregulin 4 (NRG4) protein. The neuregulins, including NRG4, activate type-1 growth factor receptors to initiating cell-to-cell signaling through tyrosine phosphorylation.

Human OLA1 mRNA encodes the human Obg like ATPase 1 (OLA1) protein, a member of the GTPase protein family. OLA1 interacts with breast cancer-associated gene 1 (BRCA1) and BRCA1-associated RING domain protein (BARD1), and is involved in centrosome regulation.

Human PAX1 mRNA encodes the human paired box 1 (PAX1) protein, a member of the paired box (PAX) family. PAX1 plays a role in pattern formation during embryogenesis and may be essential for development of the vertebral column.

Human PAX2 mRNA encodes the human paired box 2 (PAX2) protein, a member of the paired box (PAX) family. PAX2 may have a role in kidney cell differentiation and the development of the urogenital tract, the eyes, and the CNS.

Human PAX3 mRNA encodes the human paired box 3 (PAX3) protein, a member of the paired box (PAX) family. PAX3 may regulate cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis and involve in neural development and myogenesis.

Human PAX4 mRNA encodes the human paired box 4 (PAX4) protein, a member of the paired box (PAX) family. PAX4 is involved in pancreatic islet development and mouse studies have demonstrated a role for this gene in differentiation of insulin-producing beta cells.

Human PAX5 mRNA encodes the human paired box 5 (PAX5) protein, a member of the paired box (PAX) family. PAX5 may play an important role in B-cell differentiation as well as neural development and spermatogenesis.

Human PAX6 mRNA encodes the human paired box 6 (PAX6) protein, a member of the paired box (PAX) family. PAX6 may play an important role in the development of the eye, nose, central nervous system and pancreas. It is also required for the differentiation of pancreatic islet alpha cells.

Human PAX7 mRNA encodes the human paired box 7 (PAX7) protein, a member of the paired box (PAX) family. PAX7 may play a role in myogenesis through regulation of muscle precursor cells proliferation.

Human PAX8 mRNA encodes the human paired box 8 (PAX8) protein, a member of the paired box (PAX) family. PAX8 is involved in thyroid follicular cell development and expression of thyroid-specific genes.

Human PAX9 mRNA encodes the human paired box 9 (PAX9) protein, a member of the paired box (PAX) family. PAX9 is required for normal development of thymus, parathyroid glands, ultimobranchial bodies, teeth, skeletal elements of skull and larynx as well as distal limbs.

Human PDGFA mRNA encodes the human platelet derived growth factor A (PDGFA) protein, a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. PDGFA plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis.

Human PDGFB mRNA encodes the human platelet derived growth factor B (PDGFB) protein, a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. PDGFB plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis.
