    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in paraxial mesoderm formation and somitogenesis
  • probable transcriptional regulator involved in developmental processes
  • could be required for specification of paraxial mesoderm structures during gastrulation
  • controls the expression of MESP2, which encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that has crucial roles in somitogenesis
  • represses SOX2 by inactivating enhancer N1 to inhibit neural development, and this is an essential step for the specification of paraxial mesoderm from the axial stem cells
  • required for cardiac myocyte differentiation and represses neural differentiation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with SMAD6 (Chen 2009)
  • RIPPLY1, RIPPLY2 are direct regulators of the TBX6 protein level for the establishment of intersomitic boundaries
  • RIPPLY2 represses TBX6 in a MESP2-independent manner, which contributes to the accurate segmental border formation
