NEUROD1 neuronal differentiation 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 4760)

Symbol: NEUROD1

Full name: neuronal differentiation 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: BETA2; BHF-1; MODY6; NEUROD; T2D; bHLHa3

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the NeuroD family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors. The protein forms heterodimers with other bHLH proteins and activates transcription of genes that contain a specific DNA sequence known as the E-box. It regulates expression of the insulin gene, and mutations in this gene result in type II diabetes mellitus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
