Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; mesenchymal cell development; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle hypertrophy in response to stress; circulatory system development; and negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; sensory organ; and tooth. Used to study aortic valve disease and tetralogy of Fallot. Orthologous to human HEY2 (hes related family bHLH transcription factor with YRPW motif 2).
