Mouse Gene Set: GOMF_GENERAL_TRANSCRIPTION_INITIATION_FACTOR_ACTIVITY

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOMF_GENERAL_TRANSCRIPTION_INITIATION_FACTOR_ACTIVITY

Standard name GOMF_GENERAL_TRANSCRIPTION_INITIATION_FACTOR_ACTIVITY
Systematic name MM14391
Brief description A molecular function required for core promoter activity that mediates the assembly of the RNA polymerase holoenzyme at promoter DNA to form the pre-initiation complex (PIC). General transcription factors (GTFs) bind to and open promoter DNA, initiate RNA synthesis and stimulate the escape of the polymerase from the promoter. Not all subunits of the general transcription factor are necessarily present at all promoters to initiate transcription. GTFs act at each promoter, although the exact subunit composition at individual promoters may vary. [GOC:txnOH-2018]
