Background
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the inhibitor of DNA binding family, members of which are transcriptional regulators that contain a helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain but not a basic domain. Members of the inhibitor of DNA binding 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 of this gene is located on chromosome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011],
Function
developmental stage:Found in most early fetal tissues but not in the corresponding mature tissues.,function:ID (inhibitor of DNA binding) HLH proteins lack a basic DNA-binding domain but are able to form heterodimers with other HLH proteins, thereby inhibiting DNA binding. ID-2 may be an inhibitor of tissue-specific gene expression.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,subunit:Heterodimer with other HLH proteins.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in early fetal tissues, including those of the central nervous system.,
