Transcription factors of the NF1 family: Possible mechanisms of inducible gene expression in the evolutionary lineage of multicellular animals.

The review discusses the role of omnipresent transcription factors of the NF1 family in the development, establishment and regulation of tissue-specific gene expression in multicellular organisms with a different degree of complexity. The molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of these transcription factors on the development of tissues in the evolutionary lineage of multicellular animals are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
