Eomes
Functions as a transcriptional activator playing a crucial role during development. Functions in trophoblast differentiation and later in gastrulation, regulating both mesoderm delamination and endoderm specification. Plays a role in brain development being required for the specification and the proliferation of the intermediate progenitor cells and their progeny in the cerebral cortex. Also involved in the differentiation of CD8+ T-cells during immune response regulating the expression of lytic effector genes. Up-regulated in CD8+ T-cells simultaneously stimulated with TGFB1 and IL4/interleukin-4. Expressed in CD8+ T-cells. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
