MeSH definition : A basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor that functions as a transcriptional
repressor for genes transcribed by bHLH proteins. For example, it may negatively regulate
MYOGENESIS by inhibiting MyoD1 and ASH1 proteins. It is also required for the stability
of FANCONI ANEMIA COMPLEMENTATION GROUP PROTEINS and their localization to the cell
nucleus in response to DNA DAMAGE.;
MeSH synonym : HES-1, Transcription Factor; Transcription Factor HES 1; Hairy-Like Transcription Factor; Hairy Like Transcription Factor; Transcription Factor, Hairy-Like; Hairy and Enhancer of Split 1 Protein;
