A class of proteins related in structure and function to TATA-BOX BINDING PROTEIN that can take the place of TATA-BOX BINDING PROTEIN in the transcription initiation complex. They are found in most multicellular organisms and may be involved in tissue-specific promoter regulation. They bind to DNA and interact with TATA-BINDING PROTEIN ASSOCIATED FACTORS, however they may lack specificity for the TATA-BOX.
Synonyms: TATA Binding Protein Related Factors, TBP-Like TLP, TATA-Binding Protein-Related Factor, TBP-Related Factor, TLP, TBP-Like, TBP-Like Protein (TLP), 0, TBP Like TLP, TATA Box Binding Protein Like Proteins, TATA Box Binding Protein-Like Proteins, TATA Binding Protein Related Factor, TBP Related Factor, TATA-Binding Protein-Related Factors
