Gene: GTF2B

Alternate names for this Gene: TF2B|TFIIB

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the general transcription factor IIB, one of the ubiquitous factors required for transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II. The protein localizes to the nucleus where it forms a complex (the DAB complex) with transcription factors IID and IIA. Transcription factor IIB serves as a bridge between IID, the factor which initially recognizes the promoter sequence, and RNA polymerase II.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p22.2

Description of this Gene: general transcription factor IIB

Type of Gene: protein-coding
