NPAS4, BHLHE79, NXF, PASD10, Neuronal PAS domain-containing protein 4, Neuronal PAS4, Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 79, bHLHe79, HLH-PAS transcription factor NXF, PAS domain-containing protein 10
NXF is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix-PER (MIM 602260)-ARNT (MIM 126110)-SIM (see SIM2, MIM 600892) (bHLH-PAS) class of transcriptional regulators, which are involved in a wide range of physiologic and developmental events (Ooe et al., 2004 [PubMed 14701734]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],function:Acts as a transcriptional activator in the presence of ARNT. Can activate the CME (CNS midline enhancer) element and the expression of the drebrin gene.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain.,similarity:Contains 2 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domains.,subunit:Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Forms a heterodimer with ARNT.,tissue specificity:Brain.,
