About Npas4

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including inhibitory synapse assembly; learning or memory; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to corticosterone stimulus; inhibitory postsynaptic potential; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in bladder; brain; embryo; ureter; and urethra of female. Orthologous to human NPAS4 (neuronal PAS domain protein 4).
