Source: NCBI Gene (ID 15206)
Symbol: Hes2
Full name: hes family bHLH transcription factor 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: HES-2
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the mammalian Hes gene family, the mammalian homologues of Drosophila hairy and Enhancer of split. Hes 2 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcriptional repressor and is an effector of the Notch signaling pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
