TBP-Associated Factor-50kDa Definition

Expressed specifically in male germ cells (testis) by human TAF7L Gene, TBP-Associated Factor 50kDa is a component of TFIID, composed of TBP and many evolutionarily conserved TAFs, which participate in basal transcription, serve as coactivators, and function in promoter recognition or modify general transcription factors to facilitate complex assembly and transcription initiation. Multimeric protein complex TFIID binds to the core promoter to position polymerase, serves as scaffold for assembly of the transcription complex, and acts as a channel for regulatory signals. (NCI)
