Description

General description

TAF3 is a subunit of TFIID that was initially identified through its interaction with a developmentally regulated transcription factor Bric a brac 1 (bab1), which is implicated in pattern formation and tissue morphogenesis in Drosophila. TFIID is a general or basal transcription factor that regulates initiation by allowing RNA polymerase II to recognize a core promotor. TAF3-TBPL2 complexes are found in myoblasts; however, upon differentiation into myotubes, they are replaced by TRF3-TAF3 complexes. Further research is still required to elucidate the roles and the development of the former to the latter complex.

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human TAF3.

Application

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation: A representative lot immunoprecipitated TAF3 using chromatin from transfected cells grown under conditions that favor expression from the MyoD:EGFP transgene promoter over expression from the endogenous MyoD promoter.

Detect TAF3 using this Anti-TAF3 Antibody validated for use in Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and Immunoprecipitation.
