Gene: TBX6
Alternate names for this Gene: SCDO5
Gene 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 16
Location in Chromosome : 16p11.2
Description of this Gene: T-box transcription factor 6
Type of Gene: protein-coding
