NCBI Gene Info:Enables protein heterodimerization activity; protein homodimerization activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including aging; nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and neurogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including QL; QL.a; QR; oxygen sensory neurons; and ray precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous. Orthologous to several human genes including ATOH1 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
