| Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 17172 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; chromatin binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in nervous system development and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brain development; musculoskeletal movement, spinal reflex action; and neurogenesis. Located in neuronal cell body and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ASCL1 (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants show impaired development of olfactory, sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric ganglia, lung neuroendocrine and adrenal chromaffin cells, and various brain centers, and die at birth with feeding and breathing problems.
