Neurod1 - neuronal differentiation 1

Enables double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glucose intolerance; hyperglycemia; maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 6; type 1 diabetes mellitus; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human NEUROD1 (neuronal differentiation 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
