TAF6 is a core TFIID subunit whose splice variants include the major TAF6alpha isoform that is ubiquitously expressed, and the inducible TAF6delta."

"In contrast to TAF6alpha, TAF6delta is a pro-apoptotic isoform with a 10 amino acid deletion in its histone fold domain that abolishes its interaction with TAF9....
