Disease relevance of HES2

 

High impact information on HES2

  • Hes2 encodes a mammalian basic helix-loop-helix transcriptional repressor homologous to the products of Drosophila hairy and Enhancer of split [2].
  • Notch1/2/3 and Hes1 were expressed in most GC cell lines as well as normal gastric mucosae, while Hes2/3 were expressed in neither these cell lines nor the normal stomach [3].
  • Identification and characterization of human HES2, HES3, and HES5 genes in silico [1].
  • HES2 gene, encoding a 173-aa protein, was located within human genome sequence AL031848.11 [1].
 

Anatomical context of HES2

  • METHODS: The hES cell line HES-2 was propagated in Dulbecco's modification of Eagle's medium (DMEM) in the presence of 20% fetal calf serum (FCS) on a mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder layer [4].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of HES2

  • The number of beating areas increased up to 12 days after initiation of coculture of HES-2 with END-2 cells [5].
