Background
The intronless gene for this transcription coactivator is located between the protocadherin beta and gamma gene clusters on chromosome 5. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the TFIID protein complex, a complex which binds to the TATA box in class II promoters and recruits RNA polymerase II and other factors. This particular subunit interacts with the largest TFIID subunit, as well as multiple transcription activators. The protein is required for transcription by promoters targeted by RNA polymerase II.

Function
domain:The [KR]-[STA]-K motif is specifically recognized by the SETD7 methyltransferase, which methylates Lys-5 in vitro.,function:Functions as a component of the DNA-binding general transcription factor complex TFIID, a multimeric protein complex that plays a central role in mediating promoter responses to various activators and repressors. Present in both of the previously described TFIID species which either lack or contain TAFII30 (TFIID alpha and TFIID beta respectively).,similarity:Belongs to the TAF7 family.,subunit:TFIID is composed of TATA binding protein (TBP) and a number of TBP-associated factors (TAFs). Interacts with TAFII250, TAFII100, TAFII28, TAFII20, and TAFII18, but not with TAFII30 or TBP.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous.,
