Facts about Hairy/enhancer-of-split related with YRPW motif protein 1.
Especially required for its Notch-induced endocardial epithelial to mesenchymal transition, which is itself criticial for cardiac valve and septum development. May be required in combination with HEY2 to specify arterial cell fate or individuality.
