| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HLH domain binding activity; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; kidney development; and regulation of gliogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hepaticobiliary system development; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and nervous system development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; foot bone; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human HES1 (hes family bHLH transcription factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mutants show anomalous timing in neurogenesis. Homozygotes for a null allele exhibit premature neurogenesis, severe neural tube defects, supernumerary hair cells in the inner ear, increased numbers of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells, and pancreatic hypoplasia. Death occurs in utero or neonatally. [provided by MGI curators] |
