transcription factor 15; bHLH-EC2 protein; paraxis (TCF15, BHLHEC2)

Function

• may function as an early transcriptional regulator, involved in the patterning of the mesoderm & in lineage determination of cell types derived from the mesoderm
• efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein (putative)

Structure

contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain

Compartment

nucleus (putative)

More general terms

• basic helix loop helix (bHLH) family transcription factor
