MeSH definition : A family of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that control expression of
a variety of GENES involved in CELL CYCLE regulation. E2F transcription factors typically
form heterodimeric complexes with TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR DP1 or transcription factor
DP2, and they have N-terminal DNA binding and dimerization domains. E2F transcription
factors can act as mediators of transcriptional repression or transcriptional activation.;
