TBX22, TBOX22, T-box transcription factor TBX22, T-box protein 22
T-box 22(TBX22) Homo sapiens 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. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the inherited X-linked disorder, Cleft palate with ankyloglossia, and it is believed to play a major role in human palatogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],disease:Defects in TBX22 are the cause of X-linked cleft palate with ankyloglossia (CPX) [MIM:303400].,function:Probable transcriptional regulator involved in developmental processes. This is major determinant crucial to palatogenesis.,similarity:Contains 1 T-box DNA-binding domain.,tissue specificity:Seems to be expressed at a low level.,
