OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a T-box family member. The T-box family members share a common DNA binding domain, termed the T-box, and they are transcription factors involved in the regulation of developmental processes. This gene is essential for heart development. Mutations in this gene are associated with diverse cardiac pathologies, including defects in septation, valvulogenesis and cardiomyopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads TBX20 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TBX20 could matter depends on whether native TBX20 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
TBX20 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label TBX20 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
