Basic Helix-Loop-Helix ARNT-Like Protein 2

Preferred Label : Basic Helix-Loop-Helix ARNT-Like Protein 2;

NCIt synonyms : Basic-Helix-Loop-Helix-PAS Protein MOP9; CYCLE-Like Factor; Class E Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 6; bHLHe6; PAS Domain-Containing Protein 9; Transcription Factor BMAL2; Member of PAS Protein 9; Brain and Muscle ARNT-Like 2; CLIF; Brain and Muscle ARNT-Like Protein 2; ARNTL2; Member of PAS Superfamily 9; BMAL2; Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator-Like Protein 2;

NCIt definition : Basic helix-loop-helix ARNT-like protein 2 (636 aa, 71 kDa) is encoded by the human BMAL2 gene. This protein plays a role in the transcriptional activation of genes involved in circadian rhythms.;

NCIt note : Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 2 forms a heterodimer with circadian locomoter output cycles protein; the heterodimer can bind to E-box enhancer elements (5'-CACGTG-3'). The interaction of the heterodimeric complex with cryptochrome or period family transcriptional repressors inhibits the ability of the heterodimer to activate gene transcription. (UniProt);
