General description

TCF-21 is a mesoderm specific basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor. It forms a dimer with TCF-3 and binds to Ebox motifs to initiate transcription. It is a 19 kDa protein and expressed in embryonic epicardium, mesenchyme-derived tissues of lung, gut, gonad, and both mesenchymal and glomerular epithelial cells in the kidney.
