Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA-binding regulatory proteins or transcription factors are involved in the regulation of transcription in eukaryotes by binding to specific DNA sequences such as enhancers to stimulate transcription and silencers to suppress it. Their presence and activity can indeed vary from tissue to tissue, allowing for the differential expression of genes necessary for the diverse functions and characteristics of different cell types.
