Transcription factors (TFs) are DNA binding proteins that play essential roles in regulating gene expression. They act as sensors to monitor changes of cells and convert the signals into changes of gene expression. Often, a specific cellular signal pathway can activate multiple TFs and the expression of a specific gene is under the control of multiple TFs.
BioCat provides a variety of tools to meet the different needs for and to facilitate the analysis of transcription factors and transcription factor activity.
