Neurogenin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NEUROG2 gene.^[5]

Neurogenin-2 is a member of the neurogenin subfamily of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor genes that play an important role in neurogenesis.^[6]

It has been found to reprogram astrocytes to glutamergic neurons when expressed.^[7]
