Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to electrical stimulus; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of synapse maturation. Acts upstream of or within associative learning; behavioral fear response; and neuron development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; limb; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 72. Orthologous to human NEUROD2 (neuronal differentiation 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

MiR-219-5p was significantly downregulated after spinal cord injury (SCI) in mouse model. The mRNA and protein levels of NEUROD2 in the SCI group were both remarkably increased in a time-dependent manner. TargetScan predicted that NEUROD2 was the target gene of miRNA-219-5p. Western blot results indicated that miR-219-5p could regulate NEUROD2, eventually promoting the recovery of SCI.

Title: Mechanistic Insights in NeuroD Potentiation of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Signaling.
Using genome-wide, mRNA-based microarray analysis, study found that NeuroD2 is actually one of hundreds of genes whose mRNA levels are suppressed by synaptic activity, in a manner dependent upon N-methyl d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activation. Study confirmed this observation both in vitro and in vivo and provide evidence that this happens at the level of transcription and not mRNA stability.
Title: Synaptic activity suppresses expression of neurogenic differentiation factor 2 in an NMDA receptor-dependent manner.
Genome-wide target gene analysis of the neurogenic transcription factor NEUROD2 has uncovered a novel gene expression mechanism by which differentiating cortical excitatory neurons fine-tune the extent of store-operated calcium entry. In vivo analysis identified Stim1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) as a primary target of NEUROD2.

Our results reveal an important function for NeuroD2 in balancing synaptic neurotransmission and intrinsic excitability and offer insight into how these processes are coordinated during cortical development.

Our analysis of in vivo NEUROD2 target genes offers mechanistic insight into signaling pathways that regulate neuronal migration and axon guidance and identifies genes that are likely to be required for proper cortical development.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
