Gene ID: 429 | Gene type: protein coding

About ASCL1

Cytogenetic location: 12q23.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:102,957,674-102,960,513 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 176 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 6.3), stomach (RPKM 0.9) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

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]
