Also known as bHLHa47ASH-5AmeloD
Summary
ASCL5 (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 5, HGNC:33169) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q32.1, encoding Achaete-scute homolog 5 (Q7RTU5). Transcription factor.
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in ameloblast differentiation; amelogenesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex.

Genetic regulation across tissues (GTEx eQTL / sQTL)
ASCL5 is an eGene in GTEx v10 — its expression is genetically regulated (eQTL) in 33 tissues and its splicing (sQTL) in 0 (q < 0.05). Strongest associations first; slope = normalized effect of the lead variant’s alternative allele.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Transcription factor. Probably binds E-box motifs 5’-CANNTG-3’ in complex with transcription factor TCF3/E12. Negatively modulates transcription of target genes such as CDH1/E-cadherin, perhaps by recruiting the PRC2 repressive complex to regulatory elements. Regulates ameloblast development and tooth germ growth, perhaps acting by positively modulating migration of inner enamel epithelium (IEE) cells. Plays a role in enamel formation.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with transcription factor TCF3/E12.
