NEUROD4 Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in amacrine cell differentiation; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including Notch signaling pathway; camera-type eye development; and neurogenesis. Predicted to be part of chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human NEUROD4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
