DNA/RNA

Description	spans 370 kb; 21 exons.
Transcription	two alternatively spliced transcripts of 4745 bp and 4077 bp.

Protein

Description	682 aa, 73 kDa; serine rich N-terminus containing a potential leuzine zipper domain; C-terminus containing a bHLH-domain as well as a class A-specific domain.
Expression	ubiquitous
Localisation	nuclear
Function	basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor belonging to the class A family; acts as a general negative regulator of cell proliferation; binds specifically to oligomers of E-box motifs; forms heterodimers with other bHLH proteins of both class A and class B, e.g. E2A, TAL1, myogenin and MyoD; implicated in myogenesis, hematopoiesis and neurogenesis.
Homology	TCF3 and TCF4

Implicated in

Note

Entity	Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma with t(9;15)(q22;q21).
Disease	rare type of sarcoma (2.3% of all soft tissue sarcomas) characteristically involving the deep, soft tissues of the extremities; morphological resemblance to embryonic cartilage.
Hybrid/Mutated Gene	TCF12-TEC
Abnormal Protein	N-terminal domain of TCF12 fused to the entire TEC protein; the translocation separates the N-terminal of TCF12 from the bHLH domain as well as from a potential leucine zipper domain; the N-terminal of TCF12 shows no sequence homology to the N-terminals of EWSR1 or TAF2N.
