1. Function

CCCTC-binding factor, otherwise known as (CTCF), is a transcription factor. It has numerous functions in synthetic biology, including but not limited to functioning as a transcriptional activator or an insulator protein. CTCF transcription factors can also call for other transcription factors while bound to these important entities known as “chromatin domain boundaries.”
