Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH) family of transcription factors. It activates transcription by binding to the E box (5`-CANNTG-3`). Dimerization with other BHLH proteins is required for efficient DNA binding. Involved in the det

UniProt ID Q99929
Protein name Achaete-scute homolog 2 (ASH-2) (hASH2) (Class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 45) (bHLHa45) (Mash2)
Protein function Transcription factor. Binds to E-box motifs 5'-CANNTG-3' in the regulatory elements of target genes, probably as a heterodimer with another basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein such as the transcription factor TCF3. May bind both open and close
