Hes7

Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; post-anal tail morphogenesis; and somitogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; descending aorta; small intestine; unsegmented mesenchyme; and urinary system. Used to study spondylocostal dysostosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondylocostal dysostosis 4. Orthologous to human HES7 (hes family bHLH transcription factor 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Hes7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
