Description

hes-related family bHLH transcription factor with YRPW motif 2

Gene Summary

Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Notch signaling pathway; negative regulation of cardiac vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription repressor complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HEY2 (hes related family bHLH transcription factor with YRPW motif 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
