NPAS2( Human )
neuronal PAS domain protein 2
Alias
MOP4|PASD4|bHLHe9
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family of transcription factors. A similar mouse protein may play a regulatory role in the acquisition of specific types of memory. It also may function as a part of a molecular clock operative in the mammalian forebrain.
