    basic FUNCTION
  • neurogenesis regulator D3, serving as a determination factor in neurogenesis and mediating neuronal differentiation
  • having a major role in neurogenesis to induce regulators of gene expression and signaling
  • proneural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors not only initiating neuronal differentiation but also potentiating cell migration
  • transcription factor that causes neuronal differentiation and induces cortical and glutamatergic differentiation programs
  • induces glutamatergic and suppresses GABAergic neuronal differentiation during embryonic neurodevelopment (Ho 2008)
  • natively unfolded protein or intrinsically disordered protein, with a premolten globule conformation, and upon binding to two DNA E-boxes, the protein forms “fuzzy” complexes (Aguado-Llera 2010)
  • early initiator of neuronal differentiation and an inhibitor of glial differentiation (Luo 2010)
  • NEUROG1 is required to guide olfactory sensory neuron innervation of the olfactory bulb, the loss of which results in defects in olfactory bulb proliferation and tissue morphogenesis
  • NEUROG1/NEUROG2 together coordinate development of the olfactory system, which depends on tissue interactions between the olfactory bulb and epithelium
  • NEUROG1 and NEUROG2 control two waves of neuronal differentiation in the piriform cortex
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    protein
  • targeting MYT1, NHLH1, EBF3, EBF2, HES6, CBFA2T2, NEUROD1, NEUROD4 (bind these enhancers to activate targets that execute core programs regulating neurogenesis)
  • EYA1 and SIX1 are key transcription factors in initiating the neuronal developmental program, probably by recruiting and interacting with the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex to specifically mediate NEUROG1 and NEUROD1 transcription
