Also Known as HES-2

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 15206

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.
