About HES6

Cytogenetic location: 2q37.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:238,238,267-238,240,038 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 260 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 23.5), colon (RPKM 8.2) and 12 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of basic helix-loop-helix transcription repressors that have homology to the Drosophila enhancer of split genes. Members of this gene family regulate cell differentiation in numerous cell types. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a cofactor, interacting with other transcription factors through a tetrapeptide domain in its C-terminus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
