Gene: TCF21

Alternate names for this Gene: POD1|bHLHa23

Gene Summary: TCF21 encodes a transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix family. The TCF21 product is mesoderm specific, and expressed in embryonic epicardium, mesenchyme-derived tissues of lung, gut, gonad, and both mesenchymal and glomerular epithelial cells in the kidney. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6q23.2

Description of this Gene: transcription factor 21

Type of Gene: protein-coding
