Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAF8 gene.This gene encodes one of several TATA-binding protein (TBP)-associated factors (TAFs) which are integral subunits of the general transcription factor complex TFIID. TFIID recognizes the core promoter of many genes and nucleates the assembly of a transcription preinitiation complex containing RNA polymerase II and other initiation factors.
