Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MIST1; BHLHB8

Summary

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose starvation; endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; and negative regulation of myotube differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including glucose homeostasis; intracellular distribution of mitochondria; and mitochondrial calcium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be part of chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
