Gene: NPAS2

Alternate names for this Gene: MOP4|PASD4|bHLHe9

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family of transcription factors. A similar mouse protein may play a regulatory role in the acquisition of specific types of memory. It also may function as a part of a molecular clock operative in the mammalian forebrain.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q11.2

Description of this Gene: neuronal PAS domain protein 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
