About Hes2

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HES2 (hes family bHLH transcription factor 2).
