What Does DBD Stand For?

DBD stands for DNA Binding Domain

DBD, or DNA Binding Domain, is a specific region within a protein that facilitates its attachment to DNA, often playing a critical role in gene regulation. These domains are essential for the interaction between proteins, such as transcription factors, and specific DNA sequences, enabling the control of gene expression. DBDs can vary in structure and function, allowing for diverse regulatory mechanisms in cellular processes.
