NCBI Gene Info:Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in generation of neurons; hindbrain morphogenesis; and peripheral nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development; neuromast development; and olfactory placode development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm; nervous system; neural keel; neural plate; and neural tube. Orthologous to several human genes including NEUROG1 (neurogenin 1).
