Nuclear factor I

Family of transcription factors

Nuclear factor I (NF-I) is a family of closely related transcription factors. They constitutively bind as dimers to specific sequences of DNA with high affinity.[1] Family members contain an unusual DNA binding domain that binds to the recognition sequence 5'-TTGGCXXXXXGCCAA-3'.[2]

Subtypes include:

  • NFIA
  • NFIB
  • NFIC
  • NFIX
