Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on cardiac muscle cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within cardiac muscle tissue regeneration; circulatory system development; and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alar plate midbrain region; cardiovascular system; hematopoietic system; mesoderm; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HEY2 (hes related family bHLH transcription factor with YRPW motif 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

These data suggest a previously unappreciated role for Hey2 in controlling the proliferative capacity of cardiac progenitors.
Title: Hey2 regulates the size of the cardiac progenitor pool during vertebrate heart development.
essential role for Hey2 upstream of Notch in hematopoietic stem cell formation
Title: Hey2 acts upstream of Notch in hematopoietic stem cell specification in zebrafish embryos.
The snrk-1 gene acts downstream or parallel to notch and upstream of gridlock during artery-vein specification
Title: Snrk-1 is involved in multiple steps of angioblast development and acts via notch signaling pathway in artery-vein specification in vertebrates.
Forms a complex with Gata5 through the carboxyl region and can repress Gata5-mediated transcription.
Title: Vertebrate heart growth is regulated by functional antagonism between Gridlock and Gata5.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
