General annotation (Comments)

Function

AS-C proteins are involved in the determination of the neuronal precursors in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system.

Subunit structure

Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein.

Subcellular location

Nucleus Ref.2.

Tissue specificity

Expressed specifically in the extravillous trophoblasts of the developing placenta.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.
