ASCL1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 1 (ASCL1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH) family of transcription factors. The protein activates transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3') . Dimerization with other BHLH proteins is required for efficient DNA binding. This protein plays a role in the neuronal commitment and differentiation and in the generation of olfactory and autonomic neurons. Mutations in this gene may contribute to the congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) phenotype in rare cases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], function:May play a role at early stages of development of specific neural lineages in most regions of the CNS, and of several lineages in the PNS. Essential for the generation of olfactory and autonomic neurons. Activates transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3') ., similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain., subunit:Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Forms a heterodimer with TCF3.
