Gene Name BHLHA15
Protein Type Transcription Factor
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in transcription regulator activity
Specific Function Plays a role in controlling the transcriptional activity of MYOD1, ensuring that expanding myoblast populations remain undifferentiated. Repression may occur through muscle-specific E- box occupancy by homodimers. May also negatively regulate bHLH- mediated transcription through an N-terminal repressor domain. Serves as a key regulator of acinar cell function, stability, and identity. Also required for normal organelle localization in exocrine cells and for mitochondrial calcium ion transport. May function as a unique regulator of gene expression in several different embryonic and postnatal cell lineages. Binds to the E- box consensus sequence 5'-CANNTG-3'
