Gene: CTDP1
Alternate names for this Gene: CCFDN|FCP1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein which interacts with the carboxy-terminus of the RAP74 subunit of transcription initiation factor TFIIF, and functions as a phosphatase that processively dephosphorylates the C-terminus of POLR2A (a subunit of RNA polymerase II), making it available for initiation of gene expression. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital cataracts, facial dysmorphism and neuropathy syndrome (CCFDN). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 18
Location in Chromosome : 18q23
Description of this Gene: CTD phosphatase subunit 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
