This gene encodes a cell type-specific TAF that may be responsible for mediating transcription by a subset of activators in B cells. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]. * **UniProt Summary**: Cell type-specific subunit of the general transcription factor TFIID that may function as a gene-selective coactivator in certain cells. TFIID is a multimeric protein complex that plays a central role in mediating promoter responses to various activators and repressors. TAF4B is a transcriptional coactivator of the p65/RELA NF-kappa-B subunit. Involved in the activation of a subset of antiapoptotic genes including TNFAIP3. May be involved in regulating folliculogenesis. Through interaction with OCBA/POU2AF1, acts as a coactivator of B-cell-specific transcription. Plays a role in spermiogenesis and oogenesis. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:G5E8Z2, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10828057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10849440, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16088961, ECO:0000303|PubMed:24431330}. |TAF4| |TAFH| |NF-kappaB binding| |transcription factor TFIID complex| |oogenesis| |female gamete generation| |fibrillar center| |transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter| |regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator| |DNA-templated transcription, initiation| |germ cell development| |transcription factor binding| |cellular process involved in reproduction in multicellular organism| |transcription by RNA polymerase II| |protein heterodimerization activity| |spermatogenesis| |male gamete generation| |transcription, DNA-templated| |nucleic acid-templated transcription| |RNA biosynthetic process| |developmental process involved in reproduction| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |gamete generation| |multicellular organismal reproductive process| |sexual reproduction| |multicellular organism reproduction| |multi-organism reproductive process| |nucleobase-containing compound biosynthetic process| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |DNA binding| |positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |cell development| |RNA metabolic process| |cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of RNA metabolic process| |macromolecule biosynthetic process| |regulation of intracellular signal transduction| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp451|Atovaquone 15μM R08 exp451]]|-1.91| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
