NEUROD2, Official Symbol NEUROD2provided by HGNC Official Full Name neuronal differentiation 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:7763 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000171532 MIM:601725; AllianceGenome:HGNC:7763 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as NDRF; DEE72; EIEE72; bHLHa1 Summary This gene encodes a member of the neuroD family of neurogenic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins. Expression of this gene can induce transcription from neuron-specific promoters, such as the GAP-43 promoter, which contain a specific DNA sequence known as an E-box. The product of the human gene can induce neurogenic differentiation in non-neuronal cells in Xenopus embryos, and is thought to play a role in the determination and maintenance of neuronal cell fates.
