Rabbit Anti-HEY2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The LIN-12/Notch family of transmembrane receptors plays a central role in development by regulating cell fate and establishing boundaries of gene expression. Notch signaling activates the Hairy/Enhancer of split (HES) genes, which encode basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcriptional repressors that are critical for directing embryonic patterning and development. The Hairy-related transcription factors (HRTs) comprise a subclass of bHLH proteins that exhibit structural similarity with the HES proteins and include HRT1, HRT2 and HRT3. The HRT family (also designated Hesr, Hey, CHF and Gridlock) contain a bHLH domain, an Orange domain and a novel YRPW domain, which is absent in HRT3. The Hairy-related genes map to human chromosomes 8q21, 6q21 and 1p34.3 for HRT1, HRT2 and HRT3, respectively, and are downstream targets for Notch signaling. HRT1 is expressed in the somitic mesoderm, central nervous system, kidney, heart, nasal epithelium and limb buds in murine embryos as well as in adult tissues. It has altered expression in many breast, lung and kidney tumors. Like HRT1, HRT2 and HRT3 are also expressed in developing somites, heart and nervous system.
Function:
Downstream effector of Notch signaling which may be required for cardiovascular development. Transcriptional repressor which binds preferentially to the canonical E box sequence 5'-CACGTG-3'. Represses transcription by the cardiac transcriptional activators GATA4 and GATA6.
Subunit:
May self-associate (By similarity). Interacts with GATA4, HES1 and HEYL (By similarity). Interacts with HDAC1, NCOR1 and SIN3A (By similarity). Interacts with ARNT and GATA6.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Similarity:
Belongs to the HEY family.
Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain.
