Biological function summary
Islet 1 is involved in the differentiation and survival of various cell types. As part of a transcription complex it regulates downstream target genes essential for the development of motor neurons and cardiac muscle. It also contributes significantly to the developmental pathways of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. The ISL1 marker is therefore an important tool for studying cell lineage and fate in developmental biology.
Pathways
Islet 1 is involved in key developmental signaling pathways including the Notch signaling and Wnt signaling pathways. In these pathways Islet 1 collaborates with other proteins like Lhx3 and Ngn2 to ensure proper gene activation for neuronal and cardiac development. Wnt signaling affects the expression of isl 1 marker genes contributing to precise spatial and temporal regulation during embryogenesis.
