About Atoh8

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in formation of primary germ layer; myoblast proliferation; and negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and lung. Orthologous to human ATOH8 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 8).
