Human Gene HES7 (ENST00000317814.8) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens hes family bHLH transcription factor 7 (HES7), transcript variant 2, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_032580) RefSeq Summary (NM_032580): This gene encodes a member of the hairy and enhancer of split family of bHLH transcription factors. The mouse ortholog of this gene is regulated by Notch signaling. The protein functions as a transcriptional repressor, and is implicated in correct patterning of the axial skeleton. A mutation in this gene has been shown to result in spondylocostal dysostosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000317814.8 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000179111.9 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr17:8,121,571-8,124,084 Size: 2,514 Total Exon Count: 4 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg38 chr17:8,121,571-8,124,084 Size: 2,514 Coding Exon Count: 4
ID:HES7_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Transcription factor HES-7; Short=hHes7; AltName: Full=Class B basic helix-loop-helix protein 37; Short=bHLHb37; AltName: Full=Hairy and enhancer of split 7; AltName: Full=bHLH factor Hes7; FUNCTION: Transcriptional repressor. Represses transcription from both N box- and E box-containing promoters. May with HES1, cooperatively regulate somite formation in the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). May function as a segmentation clock, which is essential for coordinated somite segmentation (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Transcription repression requires formation of a complex with a corepressor protein of the Groucho/TLE family (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Probable). DOMAIN: Has a particular type of basic domain which includes a helix-interrupting proline. DOMAIN: The C-terminal WRPW motif is a transcriptional repression motif which is necessary for interaction with Groucho/TLE family members, transcriptional corepressors recruited to specific target DNA by Hairy-related proteins (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in HES7 are the cause of spondylocostal dysostosis type 4 (SCDO4) [MIM:613686]. A rare condition of variable severity characterized by vertebral and costal anomalies. The main feature include dwarfism, vertebral fusion, hemivertebrae, posterior rib fusion, reduced rib number, and other rib malformations. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 Orange domain.

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.
