GTF2A1
general transcription factor IIA subunit 1
Pathway candidate — not linked to PFS or PSSD by any record here
Gene summary
A protein-coding gene on chromosome 14 (basal transcription machinery). Accurate transcription initiation on TATA-containing class II genes involves the ordered assembly of RNA polymerase II (POLR2A; MIM 180660) and several general initiation factors (summarized by DeJong and Roeder, 1993 ). One of these factors is TFIIA, which when purified from HeLa extracts consists of 35-, 19-, and 12-kD subunits.

Protein reference (UniProt)
- Protein
Transcription initiation factor IIA subunit 1
- Function
TFIIA is a component of the transcription machinery of RNA polymerase II and plays an important role in transcriptional activation. TFIIA in a complex with TBP mediates transcriptional activity.
- Subcellular location
Nucleus.

Why its pathway is in the library
Core RNA polymerase II machinery; general cellular function with no direct post-drug-syndrome link established.
Written for the whole basal transcription family, not for GTF2A1 specifically.
Mentioned in 0 corpus records
No corpus record names GTF2A1 directly yet. It is in the library because it sits in a pathway the corpus tracks (Basal transcription).
