Function
May control regulatory pathways relevant to schizophrenia and to psychotic illness. May play a role in late central nervous system development by modulating EPO expression in response to cellular oxygen level (By similarity). Forms a heterodimer that binds core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) leading to transcriptional repression on its target gene TH (By similarity).
Overexpression and siRNA experiments revealed that NPAS1, in concert with ARNT, negatively regulates the expression of TH and that this regulation is mediated by a direct binding of NPAS1 on the TH promoter.
