    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in the transcription regulation of genes required for mesoderm formation and differentiation
  • nuclear transcription factor that binds to a specific DNA element, the palindromic T-site
  • may be a tumor suppressor gene in lung cancer
  • TBX2, TBX3, TBX4, TBX5 and three members of TBX1 (TBX1, TBX15, TBX18), Brachyury (T) and Eomes (TBR2) are expressed in the developing limb
