About TAF7

Cytogenetic location: 5q31.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:141,318,490-141,320,784 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 185 orthologues and 1 paralogue.

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.
