Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homeobox domains act as sequence-specific transcriptional factors, binding to specific DNA sequences and regulating gene expression. They typically consist of only about 60 amino acids and contain a helix-turn-helix motif, but they do not comprise 90% of the protein mass and are found in many eukaryotes.
