Full name: activator of basal transcription 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: Esf2; hABT1

Summary: Basal transcription of genes by RNA polymerase II requires the interaction of TATA-binding protein (TBP) with the core region of class II promoters. Studies in mouse suggest that the protein encoded by this gene likely activates basal transcription from class II promoters by interaction with TBP and the class II promoter DNA.
