Anti-GTF2B/ TFIIB (Transcription Factor 2B), clone PCRP-GTF2B-1D1

Formulation: Purified Ab WITHOUT BSA and Azide at 1.0mg/ml. Cellular Localization: Chromosome, Nucleus. Positive Control: HeLa or MCF-7 cells. Chromosome Location: 1p22.2. Protein Function: General transcription factor that plays a role in transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Involved in the pre-initiation complex (PIC) formation and Pol II recruitment at promoter DNA (PubMed:12931194, PubMed:1517211, PubMed:1876184, PubMed:1946368, PubMed:27193682, PubMed:3029109, PubMed:3818643, PubMed:7601352, PubMed:8413225, PubMed:8515820, PubMed:8516311, PubMed:8516312, PubMed:9420329). Together with the TATA box-bound TBP forms the core initiation complex and provides a bridge between TBP and the Pol II-TFIIF complex (PubMed:8413225, PubMed:8504927, PubMed:8515820, PubMed:8516311, PubMed:8516312). Released from the PIC early following the onset of transcription during the initiation and elongation transition and reassociates with TBP during the next transcription cycle (PubMed:7601352). Associates with chromatin to core promoter-specific regions (PubMed:12931194, PubMed:24441171). Binds to two distinct DNA core promoter consensus sequence elements in a TBP-independent manner. these IIB-recognition elements (BREs) are localized immediately upstream (BREu), 5'-[GC][GC][GA]CGCC-3', and downstream (BREd), 5'-[GA]T[TGA][TG][GT][TG][TG]-3', of the TATA box element (PubMed:10619841, PubMed:16230532, PubMed:7675079, PubMed:9420329). Modulates transcription start site selection (PubMed:10318856). Also exhibits autoacetyltransferase activity that contributes to the activated transcription (PubMed:12931194) [The Uniprot Consortium]
