PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	basic helix-loop-helix (HLH) with transcription inhibition domain,
	putative nuclear localization signal (NLS),
	a glycine rich region
	a stretch of acidic residues

HOMOLOGY

interspecies

homolog to murine Musculin

Homologene

FAMILY

basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factor

CATEGORY

immunity/defense , transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	maybe involved in regulating antigen-dependent B cell differentiation
	nuclear transcriptional repressor
	may play important roles not only in developmental processes but also in regenerative processes in adult tissue
	may be involved in rapid down-regulation of MYOD1 in muscle regeneration
