Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Protein atonal homolog 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATOH1 gene .[5] [6]
Function [ edit ] This protein belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH) family of transcription factors . It activates E-box dependent transcription along with TCF3 (E47).[6] cerebellar granule neurons , inner ear hair cells , spinal cord interneurons , Merkel cells of the skin, and intestinal secretory cells (goblet , enteroendocrine , and Paneth cells ). ATOH1 is a mammalian homolog of the Drosophila melanogaster atonal . ATOH1 is considered part of the Notch signaling pathway .
In 2009, ATOH1 was identified as a tumor suppressor gene .
