Description
Description
The CCAAT motif-binding factor (CBF) transcription factor is a sequence specific DNA-binding protein complex that regulates transcription. The CBF factor consists of three different subunits, that interact with each other to form the nuclear factor Y-box (NF-Y) complex that recognizes the CCAAT-box DNA motifs. (Adapted from FBrf0220141).
