ac - achaete

Enables protein heterodimerization activity. Contributes to sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Malpighian tubule development; chaeta morphogenesis; and positive regulation of antibacterial peptide biosynthetic process. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including dorsocentral bristle; imaginal disc; neurogenic region; procephalic segment; and somatic precursor cell. Orthologous to several human genes including ASCL2 (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
