Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and chromatin DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gliogenesis; neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including generation of neurons; neuroblast migration; and positive regulation of inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness. Orthologous to human ATOH1 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 1).

The Atoh1 expression levels are correlated with the arrangement, ciliary morphology, and electrophysiological characteristics of ectopic hair cell-like cells.
Title: The Atoh1 expression levels are correlated with the arrangement, ciliary morphology, and electrophysiological characteristics of ectopic hair cell-like cells.
Cochlear explants of auditory epithelia with native spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) retained were cultured in vitro, and genetic vectors encoding Atoh1 were used to overexpress Atoh1 and induce ectopic hair-cell-like cells (EHCLCs). The neurites of the original SGNs extended toward the lesser epithelial ridge and innervated the EHCLCs.
Title: Afferent synaptogenesis between ectopic hair-cell-like cells and neurites of spiral ganglion induced by Atoh1 in mammals in vitro.
Math1 induced hair cell-like cells from lateral epithelial ridge cells mainly underwent direct trans-differentiation instead of mitosis of LER cells or newly hair cell-like cells.
Title: Ectopic hair cell-like cell induction by Math1 mainly involves direct transdifferentiation in neonatal mammalian cochlea.
Atoh1 mediates trans-differentiation of morphological and functional "ancestral" hair cells that are likely to undergo diversification in an endorgan-specific manner.
Title: Functional features of trans-differentiated hair cells mediated by Atoh1 reveals a primordial mechanism.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
