About TCF12

Cytogenetic location: 15q21.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 15:56,918,090-57,291,310 (from NCBI)

This gene has 28 transcripts (splice variants), 303 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 81 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 23.3), endometrium (RPKM 15.8) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) E-protein family that recognizes the consensus binding site (E-box) CANNTG. This encoded protein is expressed in many tissues, among them skeletal muscle, thymus, B- and T-cells, and may participate in regulating lineage-specific gene expression through the formation of heterodimers with Other bHLH E-proteins. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
