TAF II p68 Antibody (TAF15B11A6) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects TAF II p68 protein of human origin by western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP). Anti-TAF II p68 antibody (TAF15B11A6) is available as a non-conjugated format. TAF II p68, also known as TAF15, RBP56, or TAF2N, plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression as a member of the RNA polymerase II multiprotein complex, which is essential for transcribing protein-coding genes. TAF II p68 is primarily located in the nucleus, where TAF II p68 interacts with various transcription factors and components of the transcription machinery, facilitating preinitiation complex assembly at target gene promoter regions. Proper localization of TAF II p68 is vital for function, ensuring correct positioning of transcriptional machinery to initiate RNA synthesis. Additionally, TAF II p68 shares homology with TLS (translocated in liposarcoma) and EWS (Ewing′s sarcoma), both implicated in oncogenic processes. When fused with certain transcription factors, TAF II p68 can act as an oncoprotein, contributing to malignancies such as extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. TAF II p68′s ability to bind single-stranded RNA further underscores importance in post-transcriptional regulation, making TAF II p68 a significant target for research in cancer biology and gene regulation.

Molecular Weight of TAF II p68 is 68 kDa but why the demonstrative western blot shown 1 band in between 30k and 40k?

Asked by: MM88
Thank you for your question. The image on our website for this TAF II antibody is of a fusion protein, not of endogenous TAF II expression, which is why the molecular weight is lower than the endogenous protein size.

I am using TAF II p68 (TAF15B11A6): sc-81121 antibody for immunoprecipitation, how much antibody should I use?

Asked by: DefinitelyNotMatt
Thank you for your question. We recommend using 1–10 µl (i.e., 0.2–2 µg) of antibody with 1 ml of cell lysate. However, optimal antibody concentration should be determined by titration.
