Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionhlh-17 encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that is most closely related to Drosophila and vertebrate Olig proteins; in C. elegans, HLH-17 is essential for larval development, egg-laying, and chemotaxis to potassium and sodium ions; an hlh-17::gfp promoter fusion is expressed in the cephalic sheath (CEPsh) glia at all developmental stages and some ventral nerve cord motorneurons; weak hlh-17::gfp reporter expression is also seen in developing embryos; HLH-17 expression in CEPsh glia is under the control of the VAB-3 and MLS-2 homeodomain proteins, as well as HLH-17 itself.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00026651

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity and E-box binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of dopaminergic synaptic transmission and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in CEPshDL; CEPshDR; CEPshVL; CEPshVR; and ventral cord neurons. Is an ortholog of human BHLHE22 (basic helix-loop-helix family member e22) and BHLHE23 (basic helix-loop-helix family member e23).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (17)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
