NEUROD1 neuronal differentiation 1

Gene ID: 4760, updated on 13-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: T2D; BETA2; BHF-1; MODY6; NEUROD; bHLHa3

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the NeuroD family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors. The protein forms heterodimers with other bHLH proteins and activates transcription of genes that contain a specific DNA sequence known as the E-box. It regulates expression of the insulin gene, and mutations in this gene result in type II diabetes mellitus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
