TCOF1 treacle ribosome biogenesis factor 1

Gene ID: 6949, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TCS; MFD1; TCS1; treacle

Summary

This gene encodes a nucleolar protein with a LIS1 homology domain. The protein is involved in ribosomal DNA gene transcription through its interaction with upstream binding factor (UBF). Mutations in this gene have been associated with Treacher Collins syndrome, a disorder which includes abnormal craniofacial development. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
