ATOH1 - Atonal BHLH Transcription Factor 1

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in neuron differentiation; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including generation of neurons; inner ear morphogenesis; and positive regulation of inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation. Predicted to be part of chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
