BRF2 - BRF2 RNA polymerase III transcription initiation factor subunit Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as BRFU; TFIIIB50

Gene ID: 55290 | Gene type: protein coding

About BRF2

Cytogenetic location: 8p11.23 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 8:37,843,268-37,849,861 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 192 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in fat (RPKM 46.9), prostate (RPKM 42.0) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes one of the multiple subunits of the RNA polymerase III transcription factor complex required for transcription of genes with promoter elements upstream of the initiation site. The product of this gene, a TFIIB-like factor, is directly recruited to the TATA-box of polymerase III small nuclear RNA gene promoters through its interaction with the TATA-binding protein.
