Nuclear transcription factor Y: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:39, 11 November 2019

Function

Nuclear transcription factor Y (NFY) binds to a CCAAT sequence of gene promoters. NFY contains 3 subunits while subunit α binds the promoter box sequence^[1]. See details in NF-Y Transcription Factor.

Relevance

NFY is a regulatory factor for many genes which are overexpressed in many kinds of cancer^[2].
