| NCBI Gene Info:Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within Notch signaling pathway; brain development; and somitogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including mesoderm; nervous system; neural plate; tail bud; and trunk vasculature. Orthologous to human HES5 (hes family bHLH transcription factor 5).
