Neurogenin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NEUROG2 gene.[5]

Neurogenin-2 is a member of the neurogenin subfamily of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor genes that play an important role in neurogenesis.[6]

It has been found to reprogram astrocytes into glutamatergic neurons when expressed.[7]
