Neurogenin-2
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Neurogenin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NEUROG2 gene.
Neurogenin-2 is a member of the neurogenin subfamily of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor genes that play an important role in neurogenesis.
It has been found to reprogram astrocytes into glutamatergic neurons when expressed.
