Description
Pit-1 transcription factor bound to DNA. Molecular model showing pituitary-specific positive transcription factor 1 (Pit-1) (yellow and pink) bound to a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, across centre). Transcription factors are proteins that bind to specific sequences of DNA and control the transcription (transfer) of genetic information from DNA to RNA (ribonucleic acid). Pit-1 binds to the genes that code for growth hormone, which is produced in the pituitary gland.
