Androgen and Estrogen receptors (Androgen receptor and ESR1 (nuclear)) function as steroid-hormone activated transcription factors. Upon binding the hormone ligand, receptors dissociate from accessory proteins, translocate into the nucleus, dimerize, and then stimulate transcription ...

RE1-silencing transcription factor (NRSF) is a member of the Kruppel-type zinc finger transcription factor family. It is a transcriptional repressor of neuronal genes in non-neuronal tissues. It represses transcription by binding a DNA sequence element called the neuron-restrictive silencer ...
