| NCBI Gene Info:Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; oviposition; and positive regulation of growth rate. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ABplapppaap; ABplapppapa; ABprapppaap; ABprapppapa; and neurons. Orthologous to human ASCL1 (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 1) and ASCL2 (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
