FUNCTION: Downstream effector of Notch signaling which may be required for cardiovascular development. Transcriptional repressor which binds preferentially to the canonical E box sequence 5'- CACGTG-3'. Represses transcription by the cardiac transcriptional activators GATA4 and GATA6.SUBUNIT: May self-associate (By similarity). Interacts with GATA4, HES1 and HEYL (By similarity). Interacts with HDAC1, NCOR1 and SIN3A (By similarity). Interacts with ARNT and GATA6.INTERACTION: Q96EB6:SIRT1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-750630, EBI-1802965;SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity).SIMILARITY: Belongs to the HEY family.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 Q9UBP5
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.
