NCBI Gene Info:Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic segment; extended germ band embryo; germ layer; presumptive embryonic/larval system; and supraesophageal ganglion. Orthologous to human HES6 (hes family bHLH transcription factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
