Gene:
neuronal PAS domain protein 1
Gene ID:
191470
Symbol:
NPAS1
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family of transcription factors. Studies of a related mouse gene suggest that it functions in neurons. The exact function of this gene is unclear, but it may play protective or modulatory roles during late embryogenesis and postnatal development.
