    GlossaryCCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)

    protein regulating 3D genome structure and gene expression

    The CCCTC-binding factor, commonly known as CTCF, is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the 3D structure of the genome. It acts as an insulator, controlling the interactions between different regions of DNA and ensuring that genes are expressed in the right cells at the right times. This regulation is essential for maintaining normal cellular functions and preventing diseases such as cancer.
