Gene: TAF7

Alternate names for this Gene: TAF2F|TAFII55

Gene Summary: The 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q31.3

Description of this Gene: TATA-box binding protein associated factor 7

Type of Gene: protein-coding
