Rtf1, Paf1/RNA polymerase II complex component, homolog (S. cerevisiae) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RTF1 gene.^[1]

This locus may represent a gene involved in regulation of transcription elongation and chromatin remodeling, based on studies of similar proteins in other organisms. The encoded protein may bind single-stranded DNA.^[1]

Model organisms have been used in the study of RTF1 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Rtf1^{tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi}^[7]^[8] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.^[9]^[10]^[11]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.^[5]^[12] Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice and three significant abnormalities were observed.^[5] No homozygous mutant embryos were identified during gestation, and therefore none survived until weaning. The remaining tests were carried out on heterozygous mutant adult mice; vertebral fusion was observed in male animals.^[5]
