and methylases are also essential to gene regulation, but lack DNA-binding domains, and therefore are not TFs.

TFs are of interest in medicine because TF mutations can cause specific diseases, and medications can be potentially targeted toward them.

Number

Transcription factors are essential for the regulation of gene expression and are, as a consequence, found in all living organisms. The number of transcription factors found within an organism increases with genome size, and larger
