This gene is a member of the NEUROD family of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors. The encoded protein may be involved in the development and differentiation of the nervous system. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012],function:Activates E box-dependent transcription in collaboration with TCF3/E47. May be a trans-acting factor involved in the development and maintenance of the mammalian nervous system. Transactivates the promoter of its own gene.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,subunit:Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein.,
