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.,TBX6,SCDO5,T-box 6,Epigenetics & Nuclear Signaling,Transcription Factors,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Stem Cells,Germline Stem Cells,Neural Stem Cells,TBX6
