Helix-loop-helix protein 2; HEN-2; class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 34; bHLHa34; Nescient helix loop helix 2; NSCL-2 (NHLH2, BHLHA34, HEN2, KIAA0490)

Function

• may serve as DNA-binding protein
• may be involved in control of cell-type determination, possibly within the developing nervous system
• efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein

Structure

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

Compartment

nucleus (putative)

More general terms

• basic helix loop helix (bHLH) family transcription factor
