MONOCLONAL ANTI-HEY1 ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN MOUSE (C005B-278351)

General description

Hey1/HESR1 (hes related family bHLH transcription factor with YRPW motif 1) is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that belongs to the HES family. It is located on human chromosome 8q21.

This gene encodes a nuclear protein belonging to the hairy and enhancer of split-related (HESR) family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-type transcriptional repressors. Expression of this gene is induced by the Notch and c-Jun signal transduction pathways. Two similar and redundant genes in mouse are required for embryonic cardiovascular development, and are also implicated in neurogenesis and somitogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hey1/HESR1 (hes related family bHLH transcription factor with YRPW motif 1) participates in the progression of brain tumors. HESR1 is required for the initiation of a tubular network and to maintain mature and quiescent blood vessels. Overexpression of Hey1 results in osteopenia and chondrocyte hypertrophy in bone.
