GTF2A1L
Function
May function as a testis specific transcription factor. Binds DNA in conjunction with GTF2A2 and TBP (the TATA-binding protein) and together with GTF2A2, allows mRNA transcription.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the TFIIA subunit 1 family.
Tissue Specificity
Testis specific. Detected in adult testis mostly in round and elongating spermatids (at protein level). Detected in testis.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
- Mainly localizes in the annulus and partly in acrosomal cap area of spermatozoa.
Alternative names
ALF, GTF2A1LF, GTF2A1L, TFIIA-alpha and beta-like factor
