TFIIB is a ubiquitous factor required for transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II. Studies suggest that TFIIB serves as a bridge between
the "TATA"-binding factor (TFIID) and RNA polymerase II during pre-initiation complex assembly and that TFIIB can be a target of acidic
activators. An essential component of the machinery that transcribes protein-coding genes, the three-dimensional structure of the human TFIIB
appears to consist of two direct repeats that adopt similar alpha-helical folds, conferring pseudo-twofold symmetry. An extensive, central basic
surface, including an amphipathic alpha helix, is critical to the function of TFIIB as a bridge between the TBP-promoter complex and
transcription factors. TFIIB has a calculated molecular weight of 33 kD and has been reported to be observed to migrate between 33-40 kD.

注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
