    Glossary Transcription Factors

    proteins that regulate gene expression by binding to DNA

    Transcription Factors (TFs) are proteins that help turn specific genes on or off by binding to nearby DNA. They play a crucial role in regulating gene expression, ensuring that genes are activated at the right time and in the right cells, which is essential for processes like development, cell growth, and response to environmental signals.
