Physical State: Liquid (sterile filtered)
Purity and Specificity: Recombinant human TAF1 (1032-end) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-Terminal Glutathione-S-Transferase fusion protein. The purity was determined to be >70% by densitometry.
Background: TAF1 is a DNA-binding protein complex required for RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription of many, if not all, protein-encoding genes in eukaryotic cells. TAF1 plays a key role in the initiation process, since it binds to the TATA element to form a complex that nucleates the assembly of the other components into a preinitiation complex and that may be stable through multiple rounds of transcription. TAF1 may be targeted to specific chromatin-bound promoters and may play a key role in chromatin recognition (1). TAF1 also serves to link the control of transcription to the cell cycle (2). TAF1 Protein is ideal for investigators involved in Signaling Proteins, Cellular Proteins, Cell Cycle, and Invasion/Metastasis research.
Low Endotoxin: No
