Summary
Predicted to enable transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex assembly. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of transcription factor TFIID complex. Orthologous to human TAF6 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
