Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ligands involved in transcription can modify the function of repressors and activators. They can either enhance or decrease the binding of these transcription factors to DNA, thus affecting gene expression. Ligands are not considered inducers when they bind to repressors and activate them, nor are they considered corepressors when they bind to repressors and inactivate them.
