Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. The protein is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. The gene is involved in a chromosomal translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22) associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Its chromosomal location is within a region of chromosome 21 which has been suggested to play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q13516 # Required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron specification in the spinal cord, as well as for the development of somatic motor neurons in the hindbrain. Cooperates with OLIG1 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube. Antagonist of V2 interneuron and of NKX2-2-induced V3 interneuron development (By similarity).
SIZE: 323 amino acids; 32385 Da
SUBUNIT: Interacts with NKX2-2 (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). Cytoplasm (By similarity). Note=The NLS contained in the bHLH domain could be masked in the native form and translocation to the nucleus could be mediated by interaction either with class E bHLH partner protein or with NKX2-2 (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the brain, in oligodendrocytes. Strongly expressed in oligodendrogliomas, while expression is weak to moderate in astrocytomas. Expression in glioblastomas highly variable.
DOMAIN:SwissProt: Q13516 The bHLH is essential for interaction with NKX2-2 (By similarity).DISEASE:SwissProt: Q13516 # A chromosomal aberration involving OLIG2 may be a cause of a form of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22) with TCRA.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.
