Transcription factor 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TCF12 gene.^[1]^[2]

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) E-protein family that recognizes the consensus binding site (E-box) CANNTG. This encoded protein is expressed in many tissues, among them skeletal muscle, thymus, B- and T-cells, and may participate in regulating lineage-specific gene expression through the formation of heterodimers with other bHLH E-proteins. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.^[2]

Mutations in this gene have been associated to cases of coronal craniosynostosis (doi: 10.1038/ng.2531)
