TBX21 or T-bet is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_factor transcription factor], more precisely a [[T-box proteins]]. The DNA binding domain of T-bet has a dimer structure composes of two identical chains (<scene name='86/868180/ | <scene name='86/868180/Tbx21_on_dna/1'>TBX21</scene> or T-bet is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_factor transcription factor], more precisely a [[T-box proteins]]. The DNA binding domain of T-bet has a dimer structure composes of two identical chains (<scene name='86/868180/Chain_a/2'>A</scene> / <scene name='86/868180/Chain_b/2'>B</scene> ) with a total molecular weight of 76,37 kDA. This binding domain allows it to bind itself to the DNA on promotor or regulator area. The particularity of this T-box protein is that is able to <scene name='86/868180/Link_to_2_dna/1'>link two DNA molecules with only one dimer</scene>. Moreover, it is able to link two areas of the same DNA molecules which are far from each other and thus create a chromatin loop. | ||
The main function of this transcription factor is to direct [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_helper_cell TH1 cells differentiation] from naive CD4+ cells. Nevertheless, the action field of T-bet is larger than classical T-box protein. | The main function of this transcription factor is to direct [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_helper_cell TH1 cells differentiation] from naive CD4+ cells.
