Mitochondrial Transcription Factor B2 (TFB2M)
- Target
- TFB2M
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Transcription factor
01
Overview
TFB2M is a mitochondrial transcription initiation factor crucial for the transcription of mitochondrial-encoded genes. It plays a key role in the regulation of mitochondrial metabolism, particularly in pancreatic β-cells where it affects insulin secretion. Additionally, TFB2M exhibits dimethyladenosine transferase activity and is involved in RNA modification within mitochondria[1][2][3].
