Korepressoren
Korepressoren, also known as Korean repressors, are a group of proteins that play a crucial role in gene regulation in eukaryotic cells. They are characterized by their ability to bind to specific DNA sequences and repress transcription, thereby silencing gene expression. Korepressoren are a part of the larger family of chromatin-modifying proteins, which include histone deacetylases (HDACs) and methyltransferases.
The most well-known Korepressoren are the members of the Sin3 family, which includes Sin3A, Sin3B, and Sin3C.
Korepressoren are involved in various biological processes, including development, differentiation, and homeostasis. They are also implicated
