T-box transcription factor TBX1 also known as T-box protein 1 and testis-specific T-box protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TBX1 gene. Genes in the T-box family play important roles in the formation of tissues and organs during embryonic development. To carry out these roles proteins made by this gene family bind to specific areas of DNA. By attaching to critical regions near genes the proteins help control the activity of those genes.
