Positive Transcriptional Elongation Factor B

P-TEFb; Positive Transcription Elongation Factor B; tat-Associated Kinase; tat Associated Kinase
A transcriptional elongation factor complex that is comprised of a heterodimer of CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE 9 and one of several CYCLINS including cyclin T1, T2 and K. It functions by phosphorylating the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA POLYMERASE II, which results in more processive transcription complexes.
