Gene information for TAF1A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9015
Official gene symbolTAF1A
Full nameTATA box binding protein (TBP)-associated factor, RNA polymerase I, A, 48kDa
Aliases,MGC:17061,RAFI48,SL1,TAFI48,
Gene summaryInitiation of transcription by RNA polymerase I requires the formation of a complex composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and three TBP-associated factors (TAFs) specific for RNA polymerase I. This complex, known as SL1, binds to the core promoter of ribosomal RNA genes to position the polymerase properly and acts as a channel for regulatory signals. This gene encodes the smallest SL1-specific TAF. Two transcripts encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
