TATA binding protein is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein that binding to the TATA box, upstream of the promoter. It is a part of the transcription machinery of the cell. In our experiment, we detected its endogenous levels in three different cell lines: Hela, MCF7, and SKBR3 by Western. We used it as an internal control for nuclear proteins.
