Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within glial cell differentiation; negative regulation of neurogenesis; and neuron differentiation. Is active in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural keel; anterior neural rod; central nervous system; neural tube; and posterior neural keel.

What's a GeneRIF?

Data show that Her8a is a negative regulator of neurogenesis and plays an essential role in generating progenitor pools within rhombomeres 2 and 4--a role resembling that of Her3.
Title: The Enhancer of split transcription factor Her8a is a novel dimerisation partner for Her3 that controls anterior hindbrain neurogenesis in zebrafish.
her8a is positively regulated by Su(H)-dependent Notch signaling as revealed by a Notch-defective mutant and injection of variants of the Notch intracellular regulator, Su(H).
Title: Zebrafish Her8a is activated by Su(H)-dependent Notch signaling and is essential for the inhibition of neurogenesis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
