TCF12

TCF12 (Transcription Factor 12): TCF12 is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family, involved in the regulation of gene expression during development and differentiation, particularly in the nervous system and muscle tissue. TCF12 plays a critical role in cell fate decisions, tissue development, and differentiation. Mutations in TCF12 are linked to craniosynostosis, a condition characterized by the premature fusion of skull bones, indicating its importance in craniofacial development. Understanding TCF12's function provides insights into developmental biology and the genetic basis of congenital disorders....
