BTAF1 B-TFIID TATA-box binding protein associated factor 1

Gene ID: 9044, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MOT1; TAF172; TAFII170; TAF(II)170

Summary

This gene encodes a TAF (TATA box-binding protein-associated factor), which associates with TBP (TATA box-binding protein) to form the B-TFIID complex that is required for transcription initiation of genes by RNA polymerase II. This TAF has DNA-dependent ATPase activity, which drives the dissociation of TBP from DNA, freeing the TBP to associate with other TATA boxes or TATA-less promoters. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
