Goat Anti-SUPT16H (FACT Complex Subunit SPT16, Facilitates Chromatin Transcription Complex Subunit SPT16, hSPT16, FACT 140kD Subunit, FACTp140, Chromatin-specific Transcription Elongation Factor 140kD Subunit, FACT140, FACTP140)
Transcription of protein-coding genes can be reconstituted on naked DNA with only the general transcription factors and RNA polymerase II. However, this minimal system cannot transcribe DNA packaged into chromatin, indicating that accessory factors may facilitate access to DNA. One such factor, FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription), interacts specifically with histones H2A/H2B to effect nucleosome disassembly and transcription elongation. FACT is composed of an 80kD subunit and a 140kD subunit, the latter of which is the protein encoded by this gene.
