Atoh1 - atonal bHLH transcription factor 1

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin 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 active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ATOH1 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
