    basic FUNCTION
  • controling the expression of neural adhesion molecule during embryonic development of both the central and peripherical nervous system
  • involved in the differentiation of neuronal progenitors implicated in the pattern formation of human cerebral and cerebellar structures
  • plays an essential role in the migration and survival of cerebellar granule cells and precerebellar neurons
  • may be involved in the differentiation of the specific subsets of neuronal progenitors
  • play an essential role in maintaining inner ear hair cells, cerebellar granule cells, and precerebellar neurons
  • crucially required for the survival but not for the specification of zonal layer neurons in the superior colliculus
  • having regulatory sequences required for cell-specific gene expression and autoregulation in the inner ear and central nervous system
  • BARHL1, BARHL2 share a conserved function as cell type-specific regulators of Caspase3 activities
  • homeodomain transcription factor known to regulate migration and survival of granule cell precursors (
  • important role in brain development, and potentially perturbations of thyroid hormone-mediated transcriptional control of BARHL1 may play a role in the impaired neurodevelopment induced by hypothyroidism
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
