NCIt synonyms : bHLHb26; ID2; Inhibitor of DNA Binding 2, Dominant Negative Helix-Loop-Helix Protein; Inhibitor of DNA Binding 2; Class B Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 26; Inhibitor of Differentiation 2; ID2 Protein; Helix-Loop-Helix Protein ID2; DNA-Binding Protein Inhibitor ID2;
NCIt definition : DNA-binding protein inhibitor ID-2 (134 aa, 15 kDa) is encoded by the human ID2 gene.
This protein is involved in the modulation of DNA binding by transcription factors.;
NCIt note : DNA-binding protein inhibitor ID-2 is an HLH protein, but lacks a basic DNA-binding
domain. This protein heterodimerizes through the HLH domain with other bHLH transcription
factors and inhibits DNA binding of those factors in a dominant-negative manner by
suppressing their heterodimerization with functional partners.;
