Description: Homo sapiens neuronal differentiation 6 (NEUROD6), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_022728): This gene is a member of the NEUROD family of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors. The encoded protein may be involved in the development and differentiation of the nervous system. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr7:31,377,075-31,380,538 Size: 3,464 Total Exon Count: 2 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr7:31,377,869-31,378,882 Size: 1,014 Coding Exon Count: 1
ID:NDF6_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Neurogenic differentiation factor 6; Short=NeuroD6; AltName: Full=Class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 2; Short=bHLHa2; AltName: Full=Protein atonal homolog 2; FUNCTION: Activates E box-dependent transcription in collaboration with TCF3/E47. May be a trans-acting factor involved in the development and maintenance of the mammalian nervous system. Transactivates the promoter of its own gene (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Probable). SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAG43167.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=300, 307;

Our results suggest that genes associated with clinical neurological disease also have detectable effects on subclinical phenotypes. These hypothesis generating data illustrate the use of an unbiased approach to discover novel pathways that may be involved in brain aging, and could be used to replicate observations made in other studies.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
