About NEUROG2

Cytogenetic location: 4q25 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:112,513,516-112,516,180 (from NCBI)

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]
