Human INTS8 Recombinant Protein (N-His) (HA984012)

Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet or the lot-specific COA.

Integrator complex subunit 8 (INTS8) is a ~113 kDa protein. Component of the integrator complex, a multiprotein complex that terminates RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription in the promoter-proximal region of genes. The integrator complex provides a quality checkpoint during transcription elongation by driving premature transcription termination of transcripts that are unfavorably configured for transcriptional elongation: the complex terminates transcription by (1) catalyzing dephosphorylation of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Pol II subunit POLR2A/RPB1 and SUPT5H/SPT5, (2) degrading the exiting nascent RNA transcript via endonuclease activity and (3) promoting the release of Pol II from bound DNA. The integrator complex is also involved in terminating the synthesis of non-coding Pol II transcripts, such as enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), telomerase RNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Within the integrator complex, INTS8 is required for the recruitment of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) to transcription pause-release checkpoint.
