TBX5 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

TBX5, also known as T-box 5. It 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. It is closely linked to related family member T-box 3 (ulnar mammary syndrome) on human chromosome 12. The TBX5 protein may play a role in heart development and specification of limb identity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Holt-Oram syndrome, a developmental disorder affecting the heart and upper limbs. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
