Background
SIM1 and SIM2 genes are Drosophila single-minded (sim) gene homologs. SIM1 transcript was detected only in fetal kidney out of various adult and fetal tissues tested. Since the sim gene plays an important role in Drosophila development and has peak levels of expression during the period of neurogenesis,it was proposed that the human SIM gene is a candidate for involvement in certain dysmorphic features (particularly the facial and skull characteristics), abnormalities of brain development, and/or mental retardation of Down syndrome.

Function
function:Transcriptional factor that may have pleiotropic effects during embryogenesis and in the adult.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 Single-minded C-terminal domain.,similarity:Contains 2 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domains.,subunit:Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Heterodimer of SIM1 and ARNT.,
Other name
