NCBI Gene Info:Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; protein dimerization activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendrite morphogenesis; mesoderm development; and sensory organ development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; extended germ band embryo; germ layer; neuroblasts; and presumptive embryonic/larval central nervous system. Orthologous to human HES2 (hes family bHLH transcription factor 2) and HES6 (hes family bHLH transcription factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
