UniProt functional annotation for P97459

UniProt code: P97459.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: May control regulatory pathways relevant to schizophrenia and to psychotic illness. May play a role in late central nervous system development by modulating EPO expression in response to cellular oxygen level. Forms a heterodimer that binds core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) leading to transcriptional repression on its target gene TH (PubMed:27782878). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15347806, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15635607, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27782878}.
 
Subunit: Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Interacts with ARNT; forms a heterodimer that binds core DNA sequence 5'-[AG]CGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) leading to a transcriptional repressor on its target gene TH. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15635607, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27782878}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in brain in inhibitory interneurons. Also found in spinal cord. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15347806}.
Developmental stage: First detected between embryonic day 15 and day 16.
