Basic domain helix loop helix protein class B 1, Basic helix loop helix protein class B 1, BHLHB, bHLHB1, bHLHe19, Class B basic helix loop helix protein 1, Class B basic helix-loop-helix protein 1, class E basic helix loop helix protein 19
Olig2 is required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron specification in the spinal cord, as well as for the development of somatic motor neurons in the hindbrain. Cooperates with OLIG1 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube. Antagonist of V2 interneuron and of NKX2-2-induced V3 interneuron development.
