Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 429
Gene name Achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 1
Gene symbol ASCL1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ASH1HASH1MASH1bHLHa46
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12q23.2
Summary This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH) family of transcription factors. The protein activates transcription by binding to the E box (5`-CANNTG-3`). Dimerization with other BHLH proteins is required for efficient DNA binding. This
