Basic Helix Loop Helix Domain Containing Protein A9 (BHLHA9)

BHLHA9 Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.Cellular proliferation, specification and differentiation in developing tissues are tightly coordinated by groups of transcription factors in response to extrinsic and intrinsic signals. Furthermore, renewable pools of stem cells in adult tissues are subject to similar regulation.

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins are a group of transcription factors that exert such a determinative influence on a variety of developmental pathways from C. elegans to humans. RT-PCR and mammalian 2-hybrid analysis of a subset of the factors demonstrated that they were indeed expressed, and were able to interact with an appropriate binding partner in vitro.
