Summary
Tbx21 (T-bet) is a member of the T-box transcription factor family that plays a critical role in interferon (IFN)-gamma regulation and promotion of cell-mediated immune responses against intracellular pathogens.
Tbx21 (T-bet) regulates the interplay between mucosal dendritic cells, innate lymphoid cells, and the intestinal microbiota.
Gradual expression of Tbx21 controls the fate and function of innate lymphoid cells.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000073861:
This gene is a member of a phylogenetically conserved family of genes that share a common DNA-binding domain, the T-box. T-box genes encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of developmental processes. This gene is the human ortholog of mouse Tbx21/Tbet gene. Studies in mouse show that Tbx21 protein is a Th1 cell-specific transcription factor that controls the expression of the hallmark Th1 cytokine, interferon-gamma (IFNG). Expression of the human ortholog also correlates with IFNG expression in Th1 and natural killer cells, suggesting a role for this gene in initiating Th1 lineage development from naive Th precursor cells.
