Description
Description
Rel homology domain (RHD) family transcription factors are sequence-specific DNA binding proteins that regulate transcription. They are characterized by RHD, which is responsible for protein dimerization, DNA binding, and regulated nuclear import. Rel family proteins can function as either homodimers or heterodimers. (Adapted from FBrf0149112).
