Gene: GTF2E2

Alternate names for this Gene: FE|TF2E2|TFIIE-B|TTD6

Gene Summary: The general transcription factor IIE (TFIIE) is part of the RNA polymerase II transcription initiation complex, recruiting TFIIH and being essential for promoter clearance by RNA polymerase II. TFIIE is a heterodimer (and sometimes heterotetramer) of alpha and beta subunits. The protein encoded by this gene represents the beta subunit of TFIIE.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8p12

Description of this Gene: general transcription factor IIE subunit 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
