TBX6 T-box transcription factor 6

Gene ID: 6911, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SCDO5

Summary

This gene is a member of a phylogenetically conserved family of genes that share a common DNA-binding domain, the T-box. T-box genes encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of developmental processes. Knockout studies in mice indicate that this gene is important for specification of paraxial mesoderm structures. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
