TBX6
geneOn this page
Summary
TBX6 (T-box transcription factor 6, HGNC:11605) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16p11.2, encoding T-box transcription factor TBX6 (O95947). T-box transcription factor that plays an essential role in the determination of the fate of axial stem cells: neural vs mesodermal.
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.

T-box transcription factor TBX6 — O95947 (reviewed: O95947)
All UniProt accessions (1): O95947
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. T-box transcription factor that plays an essential role in the determination of the fate of axial stem cells: neural vs mesodermal. Acts in part by down-regulating, a specific enhancer (N1) of SOX2, to inhibit neural development. Seems to play also an essential role in left/right axis determination and acts through effects on Notch signaling around the node as well as through an effect on the morphology and motility of the nodal cilia.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a dimeric complex with DNA (in vitro).
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in fetal tail bud, posterior spinal tissue, intervertebral disk and testis. Also expressed in adult testis, kidney, lung, muscle and thymus.
Disease relevance. Spondylocostal dysostosis 5 (SCDO5) [MIM:122600] A rare condition of variable severity characterized by vertebral and costal anomalies. The main feature include dwarfism, vertebral fusion, hemivertebrae, posterior rib fusion, reduced rib number, and other rib malformations. SCDO5 inheritance can be autosomal dominant or recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
