CC   -!- FUNCTION: Transcription factor that binds a palindromic (canonical)
CC       core consensus DNA sequence 5'-CANNTG- 3' known as an E-box element,
CC       possibly as a heterodimer with other bHLH proteins (By similarity).
CC       Regulates endothelial cell proliferation, migration and tube-like
CC       structures formation (By similarity). Modulates endothelial cell
CC       differentiation through NOS3 (By similarity). May be implicated in
CC       specification and differentiation of neuronal cell lineages in the
CC       brain (PubMed:11733035). May participate in kidney development and may
CC       be involved in podocyte differentiation (PubMed:16937370). During early
CC       embryonic development is involved in tissue-specific differentiation
CC       processes that are dependent on class II bHLH factors and namely
CC       modulates the differentiation program initiated by the pro-endocrine
CC       factor NEUROG3 (PubMed:18560595). During myogenesis, may play a role
CC       during the transition of myoblasts from the proliferative phase to the
CC       differentiation phase (PubMed:24186058). Positively regulates HAMP
CC       transcription in two ways, firstly by acting directly on the HAMP
CC       promoter via E-boxes binding and indirectly through increased
CC       phosphorylation of SMAD protein complex (By similarity). Repress
CC       NEUROG3-dependent gene activation in a gene-specific manner through at
CC       least two mechanisms; requires only either the sequestering of a
CC       general partner such as TCF3 through heterodimerization, either also
CC       requires binding of the bHLH domain to DNA via a basic motif
CC       (PubMed:23938248). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q96SQ7,

CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:18560595, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23938248}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH
CC       protein. Interacts with NEUROG3 and NEUROD1. Interacts with ZFPM2;
CC       mediates indirect interaction with GATA4. Forms a heterodimer with
CC       TCF3; repress transcription of TCF3 and TCF3/NEUROG3 dimer-induced
CC       transactivation of E box-dependent promoters. {ECO:0000250,

CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24186058}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by subsets of mature neurons
CC       (PubMed:11733035). Expressed in kidney (podocytes) (PubMed:16937370).
CC       Expression is restricted to the atria, lung mesenchyme, and vascular
CC       smooth muscle (PubMed:23836893). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11733035,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:16937370, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23836893}.
CC   -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed at high levels at 8.5 dpc and its
CC       expression level gradually decreases during embryogenesis. At 12.5 dpc,
CC       is expressed throughout the developing nervous system. It is expressed
CC       in both the ventricular zone and the mantle layer of the developing
CC       brain. At 14.5 dpc, expressed in the cortical plate as well as in other
CC       regions of the brain. Also expressed at a high level in the spinal cord
CC       and dorsal root ganglia. Expressed by almost all cells in the spinal
CC       cord and dorsal root ganglia at this stage. At later stages, expression
CC       is gradually restricted to several regions such as the hippocampus,
CC       cerebellum and retina. In the hippocampus, a high level of expression
CC       continues during embryogenesis until adulthood. Expressed in the CA1-
CC       CA3 regions and the dentate gyrus. At 18.5 dpc, expressed in cerebellum
CC       by Purkinje cells and granule cell precursors in the external granular
CC       layer (EGL). By postnatal day 4, expressed by aligned Purkinje cells
CC       and by the EGL and internal granular layer (IGL) cells. In the adult
CC       cerebellum, expressed at a high level by Purkinje cells and weakly by
CC       granule cells in the IGL. In developing retina, expressed in both the
CC       ganglion cell layer and the ventricular zone at 11.5 dpc and 17.5 dpc.
CC       Expression becomes very weak in the adult retina. Early in metanephric
CC       development, expressed in metanephric mesenchyme but not ureteric bud-
CC       derived cells, with overall expression being most abundant in the
CC       nephrogenic zone. From 14.5 dpc to birth, expressed at constant levels.
CC       By day 13, corresponding to the end of new nephron induction,
CC       expression levels begin to decline. By day 19, expression returned to
CC       fetal levels, and by day 40, the low level of expression that persisted
CC       into adulthood is established. In adult kidney, expression is
CC       restricted to podocytes. Expressed in pancreatic tissue from 12.5 dpc
CC       until 17.5 dpc. Is still detectable at low level,at postnatal day 1 and
CC       in isolated pancreatic islets in adult (PubMed:18560595).
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11733035, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16937370,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:18560595}.
CC   -!- INDUCTION: Specifically activated by bHLH factors.
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18560595}.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The bHLH domain mediates transcriptional repression by
CC       inhibiting TCF3 transcriptional activity through heterodimerization.
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23938248}.
CC   -!- DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Mice heterozygous survive to adulthood and
CC       present no phenotype (PubMed:18560595). The homozygous knockout of
CC       Atoh8 is embryonic lethal (PubMed:18560595).
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18560595}.
CC   -!- CAUTION: Contains a degenerate basic motif not likely to bind DNA.
