  In this study, we present a perturbative analysis of the three-gluon vertex
for a kinematical symmetric configuration in dimension $n=4-2\epsilon$ and
different covariant gauges.Our study can describe the form factors of the three
gluon vertex in a wide range of momentum. We employ a momentum subtraction
(MOM) scheme to define the renormalized vertex. We give an in-depth review of
three commonly used vector basis for the vertex, and explicitly show the
expressions to change from one basis to the other. Although our estimates are
valid only in the perturbative regime, we extend our numerical predictions to
the infrared domain and show that in $n=4$ some nonperturbative properties are
qualitatively present already at perturbation theory. In particular, we find a
critical gauge above which the leading form factor displays the so-called zero
crossing. We contrast our findings to those of other models and observe a
fairly good agreement.
