neurogenin-2; NGN-2; class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 8; bHLHa8; protein atonal homolog 4 (NEUROG2 ATOH4 BHLHA8 NGN2)

Function

• transcriptional regulator
• role in neuronal differentiation
• activates transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3')
• efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein (putative)

Structure

• contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain

Compartment

nucleus (putative)

More general terms

• neurogenin
