TF
Description
TF Gene, also known as Transcription Factor Gene, plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression. It encodes proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences, controlling the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to RNA. These proteins act as molecular switches, turning genes on or off, and fine-tuning the expression of thousands of other genes. This intricate regulation is crucial for various biological processes, including development, cell differentiation, and response to environmental stimuli.
