TAF3 serves as a critical component of the TFIID complex, functioning as a 140 kDa subunit essential for RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription initiation. This transcription factor plays a pivotal role in gene regulation by facilitating the assembly of the preinitiation complex at TATA box-containing promoters, making it a significant target for researchers investigating transcriptional control mechanisms and epigenetic regulation.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 12E12, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Generated in rabbit against a synthetic peptide derived from human TAF3, the recombinant production method ensures sequence-defined specificity and eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations.
Extensive validation across multiple platforms demonstrates this antibody's versatility in your research toolkit. Western blot analysis in MCF-7 and A549 whole cell lysates reveals a band at approximately 150 kDa, which runs higher than the predicted 104 kDa molecular weight. This size difference likely reflects post-translational modifications, particularly glycosylation, which is common among nuclear proteins involved in transcriptional regulation. Immunohistochemistry validation in human colorectal cancer tissue sections confirms reliable detection in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples using standard citrate buffer antigen retrieval. Immunofluorescence studies in MCF-7 cells demonstrate clear nuclear localization patterns when counter-stained with DAPI, consistent with TAF3's role in transcription. Flow cytometry analysis in Jurkat cells further expands the application range for researchers studying TAF3 expression at the single-cell level.
This antibody supports investigations into transcriptional regulation, chromatin biology, and nuclear signaling pathways where understanding TFIID complex dynamics is essential.
