The oligodendrocyte transcription factors 1 and 2 (OLIG1 and OLIG2, respectively) make up part of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of transcription factors that are specifically expressed in zones of the neuroepithelium from which oligodendrocyte precursors emerge (1).
Both OLIG1 and OLIG2 genes are downstream targets of Sonic hedgehog and are expressed exclusively in the central nervous system (2).
OLIG2 is first observed in the ventral most p3 progenitor domain of the ventral neural tube while OLIG1 is first expressed in the dorsal portion of the p3 domain (2).
Mice overexpressing OLIG2 exhibit impaired potassium channel expression in neural progenitors and proliferation of these cells similar to that seen in Down Syndrome, suggesting that OLIG2 may play a role in this pathology (3).
