Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 40 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "BHLHE40" gene.
Function.
DEC1 encodes a basic helix-loop-helix protein expressed in various tissues. Expression in the chondrocytes is responsive to the addition of Bt2cAMP. Differentiated embryo chondrocyte expressed gene 1 is believed to be involved in the control of cell differentiation.
