Crabp2

Homo sapiens

This gene encodes a member of the retinoic acid (RA, a form of vitamin A) binding protein family and lipocalin/cytosolic fatty-acid binding protein family. The protein is a cytosol-to-nuclear shuttling protein, which facilitates RA binding to its cognate receptor complex and transfer to the nucleus. It is involved in the retinoid signaling pathway, and is associated with increased circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Rassf3

Homo sapiens

The RAS oncogene (MIM 190020) is mutated in nearly one-third of all human cancers. Members of the RAS superfamily are plasma membrane GTP-binding proteins that modulate intracellular signal transduction pathways. A subfamily of RAS effectors, including RASSF3, share a RAS association (RA) domain.[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2003]

rau

Drosophila melanogaster

rau (rau) encodes a protein that sustains RTK signaling downstream of the product of htl or Egfr. This effect is mediated by the two Ras association (RA) domains that together show a binding preference for GTP-loaded Ras. rau depletion produces a rough eye phenotype and reduced differentiation of retinal wrapping glia.

TPA1

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Prolyl hydroxylase; catalyzes oxygen-dependent dihydroxylation of Rps23a/b, a 40S ribosomal decoding center subunit; influences translational termination and regulates translational accuracy; interacts with Sup45p (eRF1), Sup35p (eRF3) and Pab1p; disputed role as a oxidative dealkylase repairing DNA methyl-base lesions; poly(rA)-binding protein affecting poly(A) tail length and mRNA stability; Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family member similar to human prolyl 4-hydroxylase OGFOD1

Rarres1

Homo sapiens

This gene was identified as a retinoid acid (RA) receptor-responsive gene. It encodes a type 1 membrane protein. The expression of this gene is upregulated by tazarotene as well as by retinoic acid receptors. The expression of this gene is found to be downregulated in prostate cancer, which is caused by the methylation of its promoter and CpG island. Alternatively spliced transcript variant encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Rxrg

Homo sapiens

This gene encodes a member of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) family of nuclear receptors which are involved in mediating the antiproliferative effects of retinoic acid (RA). This receptor forms dimers with the retinoic acid, thyroid hormone, and vitamin D receptors, increasing both DNA binding and transcriptional function on their respective response elements. This gene is expressed at significantly lower levels in non-small cell lung cancer cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

mig-10

Caenorhabditis elegans

Enables SH3 domain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell migration; cell projection organization; and egg-laying behavior. Located in neuronal cell body membrane; plasma membrane bounded cell projection; and presynaptic cytosol. Part of filamentous actin. Expressed in hermaphrodite gonad; neurons; and tail. Is an ortholog of human RAPH1 (Ras association (RalGDS/AF-6) and pleckstrin homology domains 1).

Rxrb

Homo sapiens

This gene encodes a member of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) family of nuclear receptors which are involved in mediating the effects of retinoic acid (RA). The encoded protein forms homodimers with the retinoic acid, thyroid hormone, and vitamin D receptors, increasing both DNA binding and transcriptional function on their respective response elements. This gene lies within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region on chromosome 6. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

Cyp26a1

Homo sapiens

This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This endoplasmic reticulum protein acts on retinoids, including all-trans-retinoic acid (RA), with both 4-hydroxylation and 18-hydroxylation activities. This enzyme regulates the cellular level of retinoic acid which is involved in regulation of gene expression in both embryonic and adult tissues. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene, which encode the distinct isoforms, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Aldh1a2

Homo sapiens

This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. The product of this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of retinoic acid (RA) from retinaldehyde. Retinoic acid, the active derivative of vitamin A (retinol), is a hormonal signaling molecule that functions in developing and adult tissues. The studies of a similar mouse gene suggest that this enzyme and the cytochrome CYP26A1, concurrently establish local embryonic retinoic acid levels which facilitate posterior organ development and prevent spina bifida. Four transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
