- Description
- ces-2 encodes a basic region leucine-zipper (bZIP) transcription factor, most similar in sequence and binding specificity to the PAR (proline- and acid-rich) subfamily of bZIP proteins; ces-2 is required to activate programmed cell death in the sister cells of the serotoninergic neurosecretory motor (NSM) neurons, and is transcriptionally inhibited by activated LET-60(G12V).
