About Mesp1

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including heart development; regulation of cell fate specification; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardioblast anterior-lateral migration; mesodermal cell migration; and signal transduction involved in regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including allantois; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; primitive streak; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MESP1 (mesoderm posterior bHLH transcription factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
