Activator Protein Notes:
Activator protein are transcription factors or transcriptional regulatory proteins that enhance the transcription of multiple genes. These activators are usually DNA-binding proteins that bind to promoters or enhancers. Most activators make protein-protein interactions with the general machinery of transcription such as RNA polymerase and other transcription factors.
