== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: This gene encodes a large protein that contains a helix-loop-helix domain and a polyglutamine region. A deletion in the polyglutamine region was associated with risk for thyroid carcinoma. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017].
* **UniProt Summary**: Involved in the negative regulation of epithelial- mesenchymal transition, the process by which epithelial cells lose their polarity and adhesion properties to become mesenchymal cells with enhanced migration and invasive properties. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28011713}.
