Nuclear factor I
Family of transcription factors
Nuclear factor I (NF-I) is a family of closely related transcription factors. They constitutively bind as dimers to specific sequences of DNA with high affinity.[1] Family members contain an unusual DNA binding domain that binds to the recognition sequence 5'-TTGGCXXXXXGCCAA-3'.[2]
Subtypes include:
- NFIA
- NFIB
- NFIC
- NFIX
