Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; translation elongation factor activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within erythrocyte differentiation and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Part of transcription factor TFIID complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
Forensic Context
A study in human body fluids demonstrated that massively parallel sequencing can accurately analyze degraded RNA from minimal forensic samples, generating high-quality sequencing output and successful read alignment [Lin et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2015.03.005]. A study in humans demonstrated that the TCEA1 mRNA was up-regulated by 64% in pericontusional brain tissue from a patient with traumatic brain injury (TBI) [Michael et al. DOI:10.1016/j.jocn.2004.11.003].
