Official Full Name

inhibitor of DNA binding 1, dominant negative helix-loop-helix protein

Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a helix-loop-helix (HLH) protein that can form heterodimers with members of the;basic HLH family of transcription factors. The encoded protein has no DNA binding activity and therefore can inhibit;the DNA binding and transcriptional activation ability of basic HLH proteins with which it interacts. This protein may;play a role in cell growth, senescence, and differentiation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have;been found for this gene.
