The product of this gene belongs to the family ofbasic helix-loop-helixleucine zipper (bHLH-Zip)transcription factors. These factors formheterodimers with Mad proteins and play a role in proliferation, determination and differentiation. This gene product may act to diversify Mad family function by its restricted association with a subset of the Mad family of transcriptional repressors, namelyMad1 and Mad4. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.[6]
