Transcription Regulator
The precise function of this family is not clear, but it is thought to play a role in somitogenesis, development and transcriptional repression. Ripply is also known by an alternative name, Bowline. Bowline, is an associate protein of the transcriptional co-repressor XGrg-4. This family contains two conserved sequence motifs: WRPW and FPVQATI. The WRPW motif is thought to be required for binding to tle/groucho proteins. Ripply3 is also known as Down Syndrome Critical Region Protein 6 homolog. This family of proteins is found in eukaryotes. Proteins in this family are typically between 109 and 154 amino acids in length.
