Sp1 Transcription Factor Definition

Transcription factor SP1 is a DNA-binding protein that interacts with various RNA polymerase II gene promoters containing GC-box elements. It has contiguous zinc finger motifs and requires zinc for sequence-specific binding to DNA. The formation of head segments in Drosophila depends on the homologue of the human transcription factor SP1. (from OMIM 189906 and NCI)
