ID: HES2_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Transcription factor HES-2; AltName: Full=Class B basic helix-loop-helix protein 40; Short=bHLHb40; AltName: Full=Hairy and enhancer of split 2;
FUNCTION: Transcriptional repressor of genes that require a bHLH protein for their transcription (By similarity).SUBUNIT: Transcription repression requires formation of a complex with a corepressor protein of the Groucho/TLE family (By similarity).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity).TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in placenta, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer with RER, cervical cancer, and in head and neck tumors.DOMAIN: Has a particular type of basic domain (presence of a helix-interrupting proline) that binds to the N-box (CACNAG), rather than the canonical E-box (CANNTG).DOMAIN: The C-terminal WRPW motif is a transcriptional repression domain necessary for the interaction with Groucho/TLE family members, transcriptional corepressors recruited to specific target DNA by Hairy-related proteins (By similarity).SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain.SIMILARITY: Contains 1 Orange domain.

mRNA Secondary Structure of 3' and 5' UTRs
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

ModBase Predicted Comparative 3D Structure on Q9Y543
The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
