(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
| Entrez gene ID | 3398 |
| Official gene symbol | ID2 |
| Full name | inhibitor of DNA binding 2, dominant negative helix-loop-helix protein |
| Aliases | ,GIG8,ID2A,ID2H,MGC26389,bHLHb26, |
| Gene summary | The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the inhibitor of DNA binding (ID) family, members of which are transcriptional regulators that contain a helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain but not a basic domain. Members of the ID family inhibit the functions of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors in a dominant-negative manner by suppressing their heterodimerization partners through the HLH domains. This protein may play a role in negatively regulating cell differentiation. A pseudogene has been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq] |
