More Information
Transcription factors are proteins that help regulate the expression of genes by binding to specific DNA sequences. RNA molecules do not fit this definition as transcription factors are not formed from RNA.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse the role of RNA as a product of transcription with a transcription factor. Transcription factors are proteins, not RNA molecules.
