HEY1 polyclonal antibody

The Hairy-related transcription factors (HRTs) comprise a subclass of bHLH proteins that exhibit structural similarity with the HES proteins and include HRT1, HRT2 and HRT3. The HRT family (also designated Hesr, Hey, CHF and Gridlock) contain a bHLH domain, an Orange domain and a novel YRPW domain, which is absent in HRT3. The Hairy-related genes are downstream targets for Notch signaling. HRT1 is expressed in the somitic mesoderm, central nervous system, kidney, heart, nasal epithelium and limb buds in murine embryos as well as in adult tissues. It has altered expression in many breast, lung and kidney tumors. Like HRT1, HRT2 and HRT3 are also expressed in developing somites, heart and nervous system.
