Taf8 - TATA-box binding protein associated factor 8

Predicted to enable protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in maintenance of protein location in nucleus and transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA-templated transcription open complex formation; inner cell mass cell proliferation; and regulation of fat cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription factor TFIID complex. Orthologous to human TAF8 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
