Function
Transcriptional repressor of genes that require a bHLH protein for their transcription (By similarity). May serve as a transcriptional regulator of the Achaete-scute complex (AS-C) genes (PubMed:1528887). Contributes to the neural-epidermal lineage decision during early neurogenesis (PubMed:1427040). As part of the Notch signaling pathway, required to maintain the self-renewal and identity of type II neuroblasts by regulating the expression of the transcriptional repressor erm (PubMed:28899667).
