About EOMES

Cytogenetic location: 3p24.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:27,715,953-27,722,713 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 299 orthologues, 16 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in lymph node (RPKM 5.9), spleen (RPKM 5.3) and 10 other tissues.

Summary

This gene belongs to the TBR1 (T-box brain protein 1) sub-family of T-box genes that share the common DNA-binding T-box domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor which is crucial for embryonic development of mesoderm and the central nervous system in vertebrates. The protein may also be necessary for the differentiation of effector CD8+ T cells which are involved in defense against viral infections. A similar gene disrupted in mice is shown to be essential during trophoblast development and gastrulation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
