Secondary Information

Protein Function helps in the assembly of TFIID complex formation.transcription factor TFIID is a cornerstone of RNA polymerase II transcription initiation in eukaryotic cells. 
Biochemical Properties 310 amino acid protein harboring a histone fold domain (HFD) at its N-terminal end, which interacts with the HFD of TAF10, to form a noncanonical histone fold pair arrangement in TFIID.TAF8 also interacts with TAF2 and TAF2-TAF8-TAF10 subcomplex assembles in the cytoplasm.
