Background Descriptions | The helix-loop-helix (HLH) structures are known motifs commonly found in membrane-active and DNA-binding proteins. The helix-loop-helix proteins HEN1 and HEN2 are DNA-binding proteins that may be involved in cell-type determination in the early nervous system. Studies of expression in normal tissues have demonstrated expression of NHLH1/NSCL-1 and NHLH2/NSCL-2, the genes encoding HEN1 and HEN2, in the developing central and peripheral nervous system, specifically in developing neurons. |

Synonyms | BHLHA34, HEN2, KIAA0490 |
Function | Transcription factor which binds the E box motif 5'- CA[TC][AG]TG-3'. Involved in regulating energy expenditure, body mass, voluntary physical activity, mating behavior and reproductive longevity, acting through the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Acts as a transcriptional activator of target genes, including NDN, PCSK1, MC4R (By similarity). Is also a transcriptional activator of KISS1 (PubMed:35066646). May act centrally to regulate function of both white and brown adipose tissue. Together with NHLH1, required to maintain migration and survival of cells in the anterior extramural migration stream (aes), which forms the precerebellar nuclei. Also, in concert with NHLH1, may determine fate of gonadotropin releasing hormone-1 (GnRH-1) neurons. |
