DLX1 PrEST Antigen

Protein function: Plays a role as a transcriptional activator or repressor (PubMed:14671321). Inhibits several cytokine signaling pathways, such as TGFB1, activin-A/INHBA and BMP4 by interfering with the transcriptional stimulatory activity of transcription factors, such as MSX2, FAST2, SMAD2 and SMAD3 during hematopoietic cell differentiation (PubMed:14671321). Plays a role in terminal differentiation of interneurons, such as amacrine and bipolar cells in the developing retina. Likely to play a regulatory role in the development of the ventral forebrain. May play a role in craniofacial patterning and morphogenesis and may be involved in the early development of diencephalic subdivisions. [The UniProt Consortium] Buffer: PBS and 1M Urea, pH 7.4.
