{"symbol":"ID4","synonyms":["IDB4","BHLHB27"],"name":"inhibitor of DNA binding 4, dominant negative helix-loop-helix protein","description":"This gene encodes a member of the inhibitor of DNA binding (ID) protein family. The encoded protein lacks DNA binding ability, and instead regulates gene expression through binding to and inhibiting basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors. This protein has been implicated in the regulation of diverse cellular processes that play a role in development and tumorigenesis.
