Background
This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix protein expressed in various tissues. The encoded protein can interact with ARNTL or compete for E-box binding sites in the promoter of PER1 and repress CLOCK/ARNTL's transactivation of PER1. This gene is believed to be involved in the control of circadian rhythm and cell differentiation. Defects in this gene are associated with the short sleep phenotype. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014],function:May be a transcriptional repressor that represses both basal and activated transcription.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 Orange domain.,subunit:Homodimerize.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in skeletal muscle and brain, moderately expressed in pancreas and heart, weakly expressed in placenta, lung, liver and kidney.,
