Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Rattus norvegicus(Norway rat) |
Genome | |
Summary | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family of transcription factors. A similar mouse protein may play a regulatory role in the acquisition of specific types of memory. It also may function as a part of a molecular clock operative in the mammalian forebrain.
