NEUROG2 - neurogenin 2 Gene
Also Known as NGN2; Atoh4; ngn-2; Math4A; bHLHa8
Species: Homo sapiens
About NEUROG2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 113 orthologues and 15 paralogues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 1.1).
Summary
This gene encodes a neural-specific basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that can specify a neuronal fate on ectodermal cells and is expressed in neural progenitor cells within the developing central and peripheral nervous systems. The protein product of this gene also plays a role in the differentiation and survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
