DNA-binding protein inhibitor ID-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ID1 gene.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a helix-loop-helix (HLH) protein that can form heterodimers with members of the basic HLH family of transcription factors. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Interactions

ID1 has been shown to interact weakly with MyoD but very tightly with ubiquitously expressed E proteins. E proteins heterodimerize with tissue restricted bHLH proteins such as Myod, NeuroD, etc. to form active transcription complexes so by sequestering E proteins, Id proteins can inhibit tissue restricted gene expression in multiple cell lineages using the same biochemical mechanism. Other interacting partners include CASK.

Clinical significance

ID1 can be used to mark endothelial progenitor cells which are critical to tumor growth and angiogenesis. Targeting ID1 results in decreased tumor growth. ID1 has been shown to be targeted by cannabidiol in certain gliomas and breast cancers.
