Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding family protein
Curator Summary
Encodes a MYC-related transcriptional activator with a typical DNA binding domain of a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper motif. Binds to an extended G-Box promoter motif. Its transcription is induced by dehydration stress and ABA treatment. Negative regulator of blue light
