In this task, you are given a sentence. You are expected to recognize the name of gene or protein. Although there might be several correct answers, you need to write one of them.

Q:  Accelerated spontaneous thymocyte death in the absence of TCF - 1 correlates with aberrantly low expression of the anti - apoptotic protein Bcl - x ( L ) .

A: TCF - 1
****
Q:  The time course of heme oxygenase - 1 and - 2 , cytokine - induced neutrophil chemoattractant - 1 , and intercellular adhesion molecule - 1 was studied by Northern analysis .

A: adhesion molecule
****
Q:  Thus , the FANCC protein functions to modulate expression of a family of genes that in normal cells are inducible only by specific environmental cues for apoptosis or mitogenic inhibition , but it does so independently of the classic IFN - STAT1 pathway and is not the direct result of reduced ICSBP expression .

A:
FANCC protein
