Gene information for HEY1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23462
Official gene symbolHEY1
Full namehairy/enhancer-of-split related with YRPW motif 1
Aliases,BHLHb31,CHF2,HERP2,HESR1,HRT-1,MGC1274,OAF1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a nuclear protein belonging to the hairy and enhancer of split-related (HESR) family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-type transcriptional repressors. Expression of this gene is induced by the Notch and c-Jun signal transduction pathways. Two similar and redundant genes in mouse are required for embryonic cardiovascular development, and are also implicated in neurogenesis and somitogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
