Gene information for TAF7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6879
Official gene symbolTAF7
Full nameTAF7 RNA polymerase II, TATA box binding protein (TBP)-associated factor, 55kDa
Aliases,TAF2F,TAFII55,
Gene summaryThe intronless gene for this transcription coactivator is located between the protocadherin beta and gamma gene clusters on chromosome 5. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the TFIID protein complex, a complex which binds to the TATA box in class II promoters and recruits RNA polymerase II and other factors. This particular subunit interacts with the largest TFIID subunit, as well as multiple transcription activators. The protein is required for transcription by promoters targeted by RNA polymerase II.
