TAF7-like RNA polymerase II, TATA box binding protein (TBP)-associated factor, 50kDa

Symbol

TAF7L (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

This gene is similar to a mouse gene that encodes a TATA box binding protein-associated factor, and shows testis-specific expression. The encoded protein could be a spermatogenesis-specific component of the DNA-binding general transcription factor complex TFIID. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
