{"symbol":"TAF15","synonyms":["TAFII68","RBP56","TAF2N"],"name":"TAF15 RNA polymerase II, TATA box binding protein (TBP)-associated factor, 68kDa","description":"This gene encodes a member of the TET family of RNA-binding proteins. The encoded protein plays a role in RNA polymerase II gene transcription as a component of a distinct subset of multi-subunit transcription initiation factor TFIID complexes. Translocations involving this gene play a role in acute leukemia and extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, and mutations in this gene may play a role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
