Gene ID: 7019 | Gene type: protein coding

About TFAM

Cytogenetic location: 10q21.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 10:58,385,410-58,399,220 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 214 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 11.2), thyroid (RPKM 9.8) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a key mitochondrial transcription factor containing two high mobility group motifs. The encoded protein also functions in mitochondrial DNA replication and repair. Sequence polymorphisms in this gene are associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 6, 7, and 11. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
