All transcription factors-like Pax6-are normally transcriptional activators; only mutated forms of transcription factors act as transcriptional repressors.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mutations can indeed affect the activity of transcription factors, but not all mutations necessarily lead to a switch from activator to repressor function.
