Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: DEC1; HLHB2; BHLHB2; Clast5; SHARP2; STRA13; Stra14; SHARP-2
Summary: 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. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
Annotation information: Note: DEC1 (Gene ID: 50514) and BHLHE40 (Gene ID: 8553) share the DEC1 symbol/alias in common. DEC1 (differentially expressed in chondrocytes 1) is a widely used alternative name for basic helix-loop-helix family member e40 (BHLHE40), which can be confused with the official symbol for deleted in esophageal cancer 1 (DEC1). [23 May 2018]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in esophagus (RPKM 152.7), liver (RPKM 106.8) and 25 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
