TIP120A (YQ-07) Antibody: sc-101180

TIP120A Background Information
TATA-binding protein (TBP) forms complexes with various nuclear proteins and is a target for various transcriptional regulators, such as TIP120. The two members of the TIP120 family of proteins, TIP120A and TIP120B, are TBP-Interacting Proteins that function as global activators in transcriptional regulation. TIP120A is a ubiqitously expressed protein isolated from rat liver nuclear extracts, originally named TIP120. TIP120B is a TIP-120A-like protein that is expressed specifically in muscle tissues. TIP120A binds directly to TBP and a particular subunit of RNA polymerases (RNAP) to facilitate specific integration of RNAP II into the preinitiation complex (PIC). In addition to being a transcription factor of TBP, the chaperone-like activity toward the RNA polymerases demonstrates that TIP120 regulates the amplification of multiple gene expression.
