{"symbol":"HES7","synonyms":["BHLHB37","SCDO4"],"name":"hes family bHLH transcription factor 7","description":"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]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":84667,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/84667","proteins":[{"symbol":"HES7_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/HES7_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Basic helix-loop-helix proteins (BHLH)","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Basic+helix-loop-helix+proteins+%28BHLH%29"}]}
