    basic FUNCTION
  • neurogenesis regulator D2, playing a role in neuronal differentiation
  • transcriptional activity
  • participating to NEUROD differentiation cascade during first trimester human placental development
  • essential for amygdala development
  • possible redundant roles for NEUROD2 and NEUROD4 in pancreatic endocrine differentiation
  • induces transcription of neuronal genes and ZEB1, which in turn de-represses neuronal differentiation by down-regulating REST, and suppresses competing myogenic fate
  • regulate cell fate and neurite stratification in the developing retina
  • NEUROD2 is a key transcription factor that regulates the structural and functional differentiation of mossy fiber (MF) synapses
  • OLIG2 has the ability to permeate the cell membrane without the addition of a protein transduction domain (PTD), similar to other basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors such as MYOD1 and NEUROD2
  • important function for NEUROD2 in balancing synaptic neurotransmission and intrinsic excitability and these processes are coordinated during cortical development
  • regulates STIM1 expression and store-operated calcium entry in cortical neurons
  • in newborn neurons, NEUROD2-mediated gene expression promotes differentiation, maturation, and survival
  • in postmitotic neurons also regulates synapse growth and ion channel expression to control excitability
  • is necessary to instruct a terminal differentiation program in basket cells that regulates targeted axon growth and inhibitory synapse formation
  • promotes the postnatal survival of both granule cells and molecular layer interneurons (basket and stellate cells

    protein
  • might be a target of CDC20-ANPC in the control of presynaptic development
  • inhibits REST indirectly by involving the inhibitor of myogenic genes, ZEB1, which binds response elements in REST 5prime-UTR
  • NEUROD4 and NEUROD6 are factors that are closely related to NEUROD1 and NEUROD2
  • NEUROD2 binds to a large set of genes with functions in layer-specific differentiation and in axonal pathfinding of cortical projection neurons
  • NEUROD2, neurogenic transcription factor, binding to an intronic element within the STIM1 gene
