Summary

PMID 11752460

[Mus musculus] 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.

PMID 23063332

[Mus musculus] Tbx21 (T-bet) regulates the interplay between mucosal dendritic cells, innate lymphoid cells, and the intestinal microbiota.

PMID 23334414

[Mus musculus] Gradual expression of Tbx21 controls the fate and function of innate lymphoid cells.

Entrez Gene

Summary

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.
