Characterization of the human RFX transcription factor family by regulatory and target gene analysis
6 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Evolutionarily conserved RFX transcription factors (TFs) regulate their target genes through a DNA sequence motif called the X-box. Thereby they regulate cellular specialization and terminal differentiation. Here, we provide a comprehensive analysis of all the eight human RFX genes (RFX1-8), their spatial and temporal expression profiles, potential upstream regulators and target genes. RESULTS: We...
