SR Transcription Factors
SR Transcription Factors are a group of proteins that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. They bind to specific DNA sequences near genes, helping to initiate or suppress the transcription process, which is the first step in producing proteins. This regulation is essential for various cellular functions and responses to environmental signals.
These factors are particularly important in the development and functioning of eukaryotic organisms, including plants and animals. By controlling the timing and amount of gene expression, SR Transcription Factors contribute to processes such as cell differentiation, growth, and adaptation to stress.
