Synonyms | BHLHC6, SCDO2 |
Function | Transcription factor with important role in somitogenesis. Defines the rostrocaudal patterning of the somite by participating in distinct Notch pathways. Regulates also the FGF signaling pathway. Specifies the rostral half of the somites. Generates rostro-caudal polarity of somites by down-regulating in the presumptive rostral domain DLL1, a Notch ligand. Participates in the segment border formation by activating in the anterior presomitic mesoderm LFNG, a negative regulator of DLL1-Notch signaling. Acts as a strong suppressor of Notch activity. Together with MESP1 is involved in the epithelialization of somitic mesoderm and in the development of cardiac mesoderm. |

Background
MESP2 is a member of the bHLH family oftranscription factors and plays a key role in defining therostrocaudal patterning of somites via interactions with multipleNotch signaling pathways. This gene is expressed in the anteriorpresomitic mesoderm and is downregulated immediately after theformation of segmented somites. This gene also plays a role in theformation of epithelial somitic mesoderm and cardiac mesoderm.
