TBX-8

WormBase ID: WBGene00006545

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human EOMES (eomesodermin) and TBR1 (T-box brain transcription factor 1). Is predicted to have DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II activating transcription factor binding activity; and RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Is involved in embryonic body morphogenesis. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including Eal; Ear; Epl; Epr; and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency; atrial heart septal defect 4; and dysostosis (multiple).
