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 ...

Sp1 transcription factor (SP1) is a transcription factor involved in gene expression in the early development of an organism. It belongs to the Sp/KLF family of transcription factors. The SP1 transcription factor contains a zinc finger protein motif, by which it binds directly to DNA ...

V-myc myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (c-Myc) is a multifunctional, nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in cell cycle progression, apoptosis and cellular transformation. c-Myc controls the transcription of a variety of different targets and regulates different processes, ...

cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1) is a transcription factor that is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins. CREB1 binds as a homodimer to the cAMP-responsive element, an octameric palindrome. CREB1 is phosphorylated by several protein kinases, ...
