TAF7L blocking peptide
TAF7L Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI 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]
Uniprot Description
TAF7L: Probably functions as a spermatogensis-specific component of the DNA-binding general transcription factor complex TFIID, a multimeric protein complex that plays a central role in mediating promoter responses to various activators and repressors. May play a role in spermatogenesis. Belongs to the TAF7 family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Cancer Testis Antigen (CTA); DNA-binding
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: Xq22.1
Cellular Component: cytoplasm; transcription factor TFIID complex
Molecular Function: histone acetyltransferase binding; transcription coactivator activity; transcription factor binding
Biological Process: cell differentiation; multicellular organismal development; regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; spermatogenesis; transcriptional preinitiation complex assembly
