Gene:
T, brachyury homolog (mouse)
Gene ID:
195082
Symbol:
T
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is an embryonic nuclear transcription factor that binds to a specific DNA element, the palindromic T-site. It binds through a region in its N-terminus, called the T-box, and effects transcription of genes required for mesoderm formation and differentiation. The protein is localized to notochord-derived cells.
