Entrez ID 6943
Gene name Transcription factor 21
Gene symbol TCF21
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
POD1bHLHa23
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6q23.2
Summary TCF21 encodes a transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix family. The TCF21 product is mesoderm specific, and expressed in embryonic epicardium, mesenchyme-derived tissues of lung, gut, gonad, and both mesenchymal and glomerular epithelial cells
