EBF1

EBF1 (Early B-cell Factor 1) is a protein that acts as a transcription factor, meaning it helps regulate the activity of genes involved in the development and function of specific cells. Primarily, EBF1 is crucial for the formation of B cells, which are essential components of the immune system that produce antibodies. It guides precursor cells to develop into mature B cells and influences their ability to respond to infections. Beyond immune function, EBF1 also plays roles in the development of some tissues and cell types, highlighting its importance in normal growth and immune health.
