Activity summary

The c-Jun protein also known as a component of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor interacts with various cellular mechanisms. It is expressed in many different cell types including neuronal and immune cells. c-Jun plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression apoptosis and cell proliferation. The protein has a mass of approximately 39 kDa and forms heterodimers with proteins like c-Fos. Other proteins of interest on the list include the Androgen Receptor and Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha both nuclear receptors involved in hormone signaling. The Maxi Potassium channel alpha/SLO and Maxi Potassium channel beta/KCNMB1 modulate potassium ion flow across cell membranes.

Biological function summary

These targets influence critical cellular functions such as signal transduction and transcriptional regulation. c-Jun as part of the AP-1 complex mediates responses to various stress signals while the Androgen Receptor regulates gene expression related to male sexual development. Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha partners with Retinoid X Receptor alpha to form heterodimers that control differentiation and apoptosis. The PXR or Pregnane X Receptor is involved in xenobiotic metabolism. Potassium channels like KCNMB1 and KCNMB4 adjust membrane potential and cellular excitability.

Pathways

Several proteins like c-Jun and the Androgen Receptor are integral to signaling cascades such as the MAPK/ERK and androgen signaling pathways respectively. These pathways are important for processes like cell growth and differentiation. Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha and RXRA influence the retinoic acid signaling pathway which is critical for cell differentiation. Proteins such as the Serotonin transporter also interface with neuronal signaling pathways impacting mood regulation.

Associated diseases and disorders

C-Jun is associated with cancer and inflammatory diseases due to its role in cell proliferation and response to stress. Androgen Receptor mutations or dysregulation can lead to prostate cancer and androgen insensitivity syndrome. Dysfunctions in the Maxi Potassium channel can result in cardiovascular diseases like hypertension. Meanwhile the Serotonin transporter targeted by drugs like imipramine hydrochloride plays a significant role in depression and anxiety disorders connecting it to the action of antidepressants.
