TFs

Description

Function

Transcriptional regulatory biomolecules (TFs)

 FOXC1

Forkhead box

The activity of DNA-binding transcription factors and the specificity of RNA polymerase II.

 GATA2

GATA binding protein 2

The activity of transcription factors that bind to DNA and their association with chromatin.

 FOXL1

Forkhead box L1

The transcription factor is essential for the appropriate proliferation and differentiation processes within the gastrointestinal epithelium.

 TFAP2C

Transcription Factor AP-2 Gamma

A DNA-binding protein with sequence specificity that engages with inducible viral and cellular enhancer elements.

 NR3C1

Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Member 1

Aids in the degradation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) quickly by binding to their 5’ untranslated regions (UTRs).

 HINFP

Histone H4 Transcription Factor

The transcriptional repressor exhibits binding affinity to the consensus sequence 5’-CGGACGTT-3’ as to well as the RB1 promoter.

 SREBF1

Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Transcription Factor 1

The precursor of the transcription factor form, known as processed sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP-1) is localized within the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum.

miRNAs

Description

Function

Post-transcription regulatory biomolecules (miRNAs)

 mir-16- 5p

MicroRNA 16

Prevent replication of multiple viruses (EV71).

 mir-193b-3p

MicroRNA 193b

Demonstrates reciprocal interaction with MYC and inhibits the growth and metastasis.

 mir-93-5p

MicroRNA 93

Contributes to the genesis of different diseases.

 mir-92a-3p

MicroRNA 92a

Reduces PTEN and prevents Eca-109 cells from being phosphorylated and inhibited by Akt.

 mir-186-5p

MicroRNA186

Inhibit tumorigenesis of glioblastoma multiforme both in vitro and in vivo.
