Molecular cloning and expression study of inhibitor of dna binding 2 (id2) gene in zebrafish chromatophores development

Id is a subfamily of HLH proteins that lack the basic region present at amino-terminal which is important for DNA binding. Previous studies of id2 gene showed that the gene plays a role as transcription regulator in cell proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle control and apoptosis. There are tw...
