Neurogenin-3

Neurogenin-3 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the NEUROG3 is_associated_with::gene.

Neurogenin-3 is expressed in endocrine progenitor cells and is required for endocrine cell development in the pancreas and intestine. It belongs to a family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) is_associated_with::transcription factors involved in the determination of neural precursor cells in the is_associated_with::neuroectoderm.

The pancreas and brain the major splicing isoform does not code for a protein.
