NPAS2, Official Symbol NPAS2provided by HGNC Official Full Name neuronal PAS domain protein 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:7895 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000170485 MIM:603347; AllianceGenome:HGNC:7895 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 MOP4; PASD4; bHLHe9 Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family of transcription factors. A similar mouse protein may play a regulatory role in the acquisition of specific types of memory. It also may function as a part of a molecular clock operative in the mammalian forebrain.
