bHLHa1, NDR2, NDRF, neuroD related factor, NeuroD2, neurogenic differentiation 2.
Transcriptional regulator implicated in neuronal determination. Mediates calcium-dependent transcription activation by binding to E box-containing promoter. Critical factor essential for the repression of the genetic program for neuronal differentiation, prevents the formation of synaptic vesicle clustering at active zone to the presynaptic membrane in postmitotic neurons.
