Description

General description

This gene encodes a mitochondrial transcription factor that is a key activator of mitochondrial transcription as well as a participant in mitochondrial genome replication. Studies in mice have demonstrated that this gene product is required to regulate the mitochondrial genome copy number and is essential for embryonic development. A mouse model for Kearns-Sayre syndrome was produced when expression of this gene was eliminated by targeted disruption in heart and muscle cells. (provided by RefSeq)

Transcription factor A, mitochondrial (TFAM) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 10q21.1. The gene codes for a DNA binding protein characterized with HMG (high mobility group)-box domains.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Transcription factor A, mitochondrial (TFAM) plays a vital role in transcription and replication of mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In addition, it is also implicated in mtDNA packaging. Polymorphism in the gene increases the risk of susceptibility to Alzheimer disease (AD). Additionally, mutation in the gene is associated with the development of mtDNA depletion syndrome.
