ara [Search on AGR]
Drosophila melanogaster araucan (ara) encodes a homeodomain-containing protein of the TALE subfamily and one of the three components of the Iroquois gene complex. ara product acts as a transcriptional regulator to control territorial and cell fate specification, cell sorting behaviour and pattern formation. It also plays a transcription independent cell-autonomous role in cell proliferation control.
salm [Search on AGR]
Drosophila melanogaster spalt major (salm) encodes a zinc finger transcriptional repressor. It mediates most dpp functions during development of the central part of the wing through regulation of the products of kni and ara. The product of salm is required for cell specification during the development of the nervous system, muscle, eye or trachea.
Sar1b [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a small GTPase that acts as a homodimer. The encoded protein is activated by the guanine nucleotide exchange factor PREB and is involved in protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. This protein is part of the COPII coat complex. Defects in this gene are a cause of chylomicron retention disease (CMRD), also known as Anderson disease (ANDD). Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
