Name | ATOH7 (HGNC:13907) |
---|---|
Synonyms | ATH5, BHLHA13 |
Function | Transcription factor that binds to DNA at the consensus sequence 5'-CAG[GC]TG-3' (PubMed:31696227). Dimerization with TCF3 isoform E47 may be required in certain situations (PubMed:31696227). Binds to gene promoters and enhancer elements, and thereby regulates a transcriptional program of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) determinant genes (By similarity). Although the exact mechanism is not certain, retinal transcription regulation by ATOH7 has a role in RGC determination and survival, photoreceptor population development, targeting of RGC axons to the optic nerve and development of the retino-hypothalamic tract (By similarity). Binds to its own promoter and enhancer sequences, suggesting autoregulation of ATOH7 transcription (By similarity). Required for retinal circadian rhythm photoentrainment (By similarity). Plays a role in brainstem auditory signaling and binaural processing (By similarity). |

Background
ATOH7 is a member of the family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins with similarity to Drosophila 'atonal,' a proneural bHLH gene that controls photoreceptor development (Brown et al., 2002 [PubMed 11889557]).
