NPAS3

Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix and PAS domain-containing family of transcription factors. The encoded protein is localized to the nucleus and may regulate genes involved in neurogenesis. Chromosomal abnormalities that affect the coding potential of this gene are associated with schizophrenia and cognitive disability. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009].
UniProt Summary: May play a broad role in neurogenesis. May control regulatory pathways relevant to schizophrenia and to psychotic illness (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
