products description :
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factors. This gene product is one of two closely related family members, the HAND proteins, which are asymmetrically expressed in the developing ventricular chambers and play an essential role in cardiac morphogenesis. Working in a complementary fashion, they function in the formation of the right ventricle and aortic arch arteries, implicating them as mediators of congenital heart disease. In addition, this transcription factor plays an important role in limb and branchial arch development.[NCBI Entrez Gene Summary]

uniprot summary :
HAND2: Essential for cardiac morphogenesis, particularly for the formation of the right ventricle and of the aortic arch arteries. Required for vascular development and regulation of angiogenesis, possibly through a VEGF signaling pathway. Plays also an important role in limb development, particularly in the establishment of anterior-posterior polarization, acting as an upstream regulator of sonic hedgehog (SHH) induction in the limb bud. Is involved in the development of branchial arches, which give rise to unique structures in the head and neck. Binds DNA on E-box consensus sequence 5 -CANNTG-3 . Protein type: Transcription factor; DNA-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q33. Cellular Component: transcription factor complex; protein complex; nuclear chromatin. Molecular Function: protein binding; protein homodimerization activity; transcription activator binding; AT DNA binding; protein heterodimerization activity; transcription coactivator activity; transcription factor binding. Biological Process: heart morphogenesis; adult heart development; tongue development; thymus development; transcription, DNA-dependent; neural crest cell development; in utero embryonic development; apoptosis; negative regulation of transcription factor activity; heart development; positive regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; mesenchymal cell proliferation; palate development; negative regulation of DNA binding; odontogenesis of dentine-containing teeth; peripheral nervous system neuron development; sympathetic nervous system development; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; suckling behavior; negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; heart looping; angiogenesis; embryonic digit morphogenesis
