Rtf1 - RTF1, Paf1/RNA polymerase II complex component

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain phosphoserine binding activity and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including endodermal cell fate commitment; histone H3-K4 trimethylation; and positive regulation of histone H3-K4 methylation. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst growth. Located in nucleolus. Part of Cdc73/Paf1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human RTF1 (RTF1 homolog, Paf1/RNA polymerase II complex component). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
