TAF9 (TAF9 RNA polymerase II. TATA box binding protein (TBP)-associated factor. 32kDa)

Polyclonal antibody produced in rabbits immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region of Human TAF9.

Suggested starting concentrations are provided. Optimal dilutions should be determined by end-user. Differences in calculated versus apparent molecular weight may be due to post-translational modifications or protein hydrophobicity. Initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II requires the activities of more than 70 polypeptides. The protein that coordinates these activities is transcription factor IID (TFIID). which binds to the core promoter to position the polymerase properly. Summary: Initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II requires the activities of more than 70 polypeptides. The protein that coordinates these activities is transcription factor IID (TFIID) which binds to the core promoter to position the polymerase properly serves as the scaffold for assembly of the remainder of the transcription complex and acts as a channel for regulatory signals. TFIID is composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and a group of evolutionarily conserved proteins known as TBP-associated factors or TAFs. TAFs may participate in basal transcription serve as coactivators function in promoter recognition or modify general transcription factors (GTFs) to facilitate complex assembly and transcription initiation. This protein is one of the smaller subunits of TFIID that binds to the basal transcription factor GTF2B as well as to several transcriptional activators such as p53 and VP16. A similar but distinct gene (TAF9L) has been found on the X chromosome and a pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 19. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
