Predicted to contribute to RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity. Involved in embryo development and transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is an ortholog of human TAF5 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 5).
This gene was previously called taf-4 [krb 020614]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
