It seems to control gene expression
1) it has an alpha helix
2)it contains one zinc atom bound to 4 cysteine amino acids
3)it has hormone binding region
4)the 70 amino acid long region binds to specificlly to DNA segments
5)examples are -a)Transcription factor engages RNA polymerase II to the
gene
b)SpI
c)glucocorticoid receptor,estrogen receptor, thyroid
receptor, retinoic acid receptor, Vit D3 receptor.
Hope this helps
