In molecular biology TAF refers to a protein named the TATA box binding protein associated factor. TAF is part of the transcription initiation factor TFIID multimeric protein complex or in simpler terms the Pre-initiation complex (PIC). TAF forms part of Transcription factor II D (TFIID) and the TATA-binding protein (TBP). They mediate transcription of DNA to RNA by RNA PolymeraseRNA polymerase II. This entry discusses the N-terminal domain in particular.
