NPAS2 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Thermal Control Studies in mice suggest that

Studies in mice suggest that this gene is specifically required for the differentiation of islet cells for the production of insulin| but not for the differentiation of pancreatic polypeptide-producing cells

alternative products:Additional isoforms exist

This gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes| platelet dense granules| and lysosomes

This locus represents a polymorphic pseudogene| where some individuals contain an allele that can encode a full-length protein| while others have a non-functional allele containing a premature stop codon (reference SNP rs237520) that truncates the coding sequence

NPAS2 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Thermal Control Studies in mice suggest thatNeuronal PAS domain containing protein 2 encoded by NPAS2 is a member of the basic helix loop helix (bHLH) PAS family of transcription factors. A similar mouse protein may play a regulatory role in the acquisition of specific types of memory. It also may function as a part of a molecular clock operative in the mammalian forebrain.
