basic helix-loop-helix family member e40
Alias
BHLHB2|Clast5|DEC1|HLHB2|SHARP-2|SHARP2|STRA13|Stra14
This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix protein expressed in various tissues. The encoded protein can interact with ARNTL or compete for E-box binding sites in the promoter of PER1 and repress CLOCK/ARNTL's transactivation of PER1. This gene is believed to be involved in the control of circadian rhythm and cell differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014].
