Description
Product Characteristics: Synonyms: Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit beta Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit B Short name=NF-YB CAAT box DNA-binding protein subunit B
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is one subunit of a trimeric complex, forming a highly conserved transcription factor that binds with high specificity to CCAAT motifs in the promoter regions in a variety of genes. This gene product, subunit B, forms a tight dimer with the C subunit, a prerequisite for subunit A association. The resulting trimer binds to DNA with high specificity and affinity. Subunits B and C each contain a histone-like motif. Observation of the histone nature of these subunits is supported by two types of evidence\, protein sequence alignments and experiments with mutants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
