Transcription factor BTF3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BTF3 gene.[1][2][3][4]

This gene encodes the basic transcription factor 3. This protein forms a stable complex with RNA polymerase IIB and is required for transcriptional initiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. This gene has multiple pseudogenes.[4]

Interactions

BTF3 has been shown to interact with CSNK2B.[5]
