Function
DNA-binding protein that regulates the transcription of several genes and is involved in heart development and limb pattern formation. Binds to the core DNA motif of NPPA promoter.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm
Disease Association: Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) : Developmental disorder affecting the heart and upper limbs. It is characterized by thumb anomaly and atrial septal defects. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | [Defects in TBX5 are associated with susceptibility to heart disorders including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and atrial fibrillation (AF). DCM is characterized by ventricular and impaired systolic function, resulting in heart failure and arrhythmia. Patient are at risk of premature death. AF is a common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance. AF is characterized by disorganized atrial electrical activity and ineffective atrial contraction promoting blood stasis in the atria and reduces ventricular filling. It can result in palpitations, syncope, thromboembolic stroke, and congestive heart failure]
