NPAS3, Official Symbol NPAS3provided by HGNC Official Full Name neuronal PAS domain protein 3provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:19311 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000151322 MIM:609430; AllianceGenome:HGNC:19311 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 MOP6; PASD6; bHLHe12 Summary This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix and PAS domain-containing family of transcription factors. The encoded protein is localized to the nucleus and may regulate genes involved in neurogenesis. Chromosomal abnormalities that affect the coding potential of this gene are associated with schizophrenia and cognitive disability. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
