Brachyury, also designated TBXT antibody, or T-box transcription factor T antibody, is an embryonic nuclear transcription factor that is vital for the formation of posterior mesoderm and axial development during vertebrate embryogenesis. It is required in the early determination and differentiation of mesoderms and is an important factor in promoting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The protein is localized to notochord-derived cells and it has been identified as a definitive diagnostic marker of chordoma, a malignant tumor that arises from remnant notochordal cells lodged in the vertebrae.
