UniProt functional annotation for Q99081

UniProt code: Q99081.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Transcriptional regulator. Involved in the initiation of neuronal differentiation. Activates transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3').
 
Subunit: Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Forms homo- or heterooligomers with myogenin, E12 and ITF2 proteins. Interacts with PTF1A. Interacts with NEUROD2 (By similarity). Interacts with RUNX1T1. Interacts with AML1-MTG8/ETO (via nervy homology region 2 in oligomerized form) (PubMed:23812588). Interacts with BHLHA9 (PubMed:25466284). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61286, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16616331, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19204326, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23812588, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25466284}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in several tissues and cell types including skeletal muscle, thymus, and a B-cell line.
Domain: the 9aaTAD motif is a transactivation domain present in a large number of yeast and animal transcription factors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17467953}.
Disease: Craniosynostosis 3 (CRS3) [MIM:615314]: A primary abnormality of skull growth involving premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. The growth velocity of the skull often cannot match that of the developing brain resulting in an abnormal head shape and, in some cases, increased intracranial pressure, which must be treated promptly to avoid permanent neurodevelopmental disability. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23354436, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25271085}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
