SATB2 is a nuclear matrix protein that influences craniofacial formation mechanisms, such as jaw and palate development, and is part of a transcriptional network regulating skeletal development and osteoblast differentiation. Highly expressed in adult and fetal brain, SATB2 contains two CUT DNA-binding domains and one homeobox domain and is closely related to SATB1, a transcriptional repressor. SATB2 is thought to bind to matrix-attachment regions (MARs) and regulate MAR-dependent transc
This gene encodes a member of the ribosomal S6 kinase family of serine/threonine kinases. The encoded protein responds to mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling to promote protein synthesis, cell growth, and cell proliferation. Activity of this gene has been associated with human cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed. The use of alternative translation start sites results in isoforms with longer or shorter N-termini which may differ in their subcellular l
RAB proteins, such as RAB4B, are members of the RAS superfamily of small GTPases that are involved in vesicular trafficking (He et al., 2002 [PubMed 12450215]).
