Single-minded homolog 1, also known as class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 14 (bHLHe14), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SIM1 gene.[5][6][7]

Function

The SIM1 and

basic helix-loop-helix–PAS domain transcription factor that regulates gene expression in the midline cells. Because the sim gene plays an important role in Drosophila development and has peak levels of expression during the period of neurogenesis, it was proposed that the human SIM2 gene, which resides in a critical region of chromosome 21, is a candidate for involvement in certain dysmorphic features (particularly facial and skull characteristics), abnormalities of brain development, or mental retardation of Down syndrome.[7]

Clinical significance

PVN neurons[12] and oxytocin deficiency in these mice.[13] It has been demonstrated that modulating SIM1 levels postnatally also leads to hyperphagia and obesity,[14][15]
suggesting a physiological role for SIM1 separate from its role in development.

Interactions
