Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and E-box binding activity. Involved in Sertoli cell differentiation; embryonic digestive tract morphogenesis; and gland development. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease and ventricular septal defect. Orthologous to human TCF21 (transcription factor 21). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Transcription factor 21 expression in injured podocytes of glomerular diseases.
Title: Transcription factor 21 expression in injured podocytes of glomerular diseases.
Data suggest that Sry (sex determining region Y) and Tcf21 induce initial stages of embryonic Sertoli cell differentiation; Scx (scleraxis) induces later stages. This cascade--Sry>Tcf21>Scx--appears to promote subsequent sex differentiation.
Title: SRY induced TCF21 genome-wide targets and cascade of bHLH factors during Sertoli cell differentiation and male sex determination in rats.
The current study identifies one of the first direct downstream targets of the male sex determining factor SRY as the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor TCF21.
Title: Basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor TCF21 is a downstream target of the male sex determining gene SRY.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
