Achaete-scute complex homolog 2 (Drosophila) also known as ASCL2 is an imprinted human gene.This gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH) family of transcription factors. It activates transcription by binding to the E box (5′-CANNTG-3′). Dimerization with other BHLH proteins is required for efficient DNA binding. Involved in the determination of the neuronal precursors in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system.
