Teashirt homolog 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TSHZ3 gene. In mice, it is a necessary part of the neural circuitry that controls breathing. The gene is also a homolog of the Drosophila melanogaster teashirt gene, which encodes a zinc finger transcription factor important for development of the trunk.
Tshz3-knockout mice do not develop the respiratory rhythm generator (RRG) neural circuit, which is a pacemaker that produces an oscillating rhythm in the brainstem and controls autonomous breathing. The RRG neurons are present, but are abnormal. Those mice do not survive because they don't initiate breathing after birth. Tshz-3 is being studied for its relationship to infant breathing defects in humans.
You think you’re better
You’re better than me
You blow me off as history
To avoid conversation
you’re ignoring me
When you’ve had enough and
you need somebody to know
Well you’re looking tough but
you need a way to let it go
Come on now
what’s a boy s’posed to do
When I can’t seem to leave you
alone
Touching me touching you
I wanna be your brother,
wanna be your father too
Never make you run for
cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister,
wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you(x3)
For fear of losing, losing your
just stop and listen to the things that they say
To avoid confrontation
You walk away
Growing up, found the need to
compromise
Well I’ve had enough 20 years
and I realized
Come on now, what’s a boy
s’posed to do
When I can’t seem to leave
you alone
Touching me touching you
I wanna be your brother,
wanna be your father too
Never make you run for
cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister,
wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you (x3)
When you’ve had enough and you need somebody to know
Well you’re looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what’s a boy
s’posed to do
When I can’t seem to leave
you alone
Touching me touching you
This isn’t a perfect love
One that we’re guilty of
What am I supposed to
Can’t seem to leave you
alone
Touching me Touching you
I wanna be your brother,
wanna be your father too
Never make you run for
cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister,
wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
