{"symbol":"NPAS2","synonyms":["MOP4","PASD4","BHLHE9"],"name":"neuronal PAS domain protein 2","description":"The protein encoded by this gene 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.
