Transcription factor 21 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TCF21 gene.TCF21 encodes a transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix family. The TCF21 product is mesoderm specific and expressed in embryonic epicardium mesenchyme-derived tissues of lung gut gonad and both mesenchymal and glomerular epithelial cells in the kidney. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
