Summary: Enables 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 several processes, including metanephros development; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and skeletal muscle organ development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lung development; nephron development; and sex determination. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; heart and pericardium; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease and ventricular septal defect. Orthologous to human TCF21 (transcription factor 21).

After E15.5, Tcf21 progenitor cells exclusively become lipofibroblasts and interstitial fibroblasts. Lipid metabolism genes were highly expressed in perinatal and adult Tcf21 lineage cells. Overexpression of Tcf21 in primary neonatal lung fibroblasts led to increases in intracellular neutral lipids, suggesting a regulatory role for Tcf21 in lipofibroblast function.
Title: The Tcf21 lineage constitutes the lung lipofibroblast population.

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.
