Trithorax group proteins

Trithorax group proteins are a set of proteins that play a crucial role in controlling gene expression in cells. They help "turn on" specific genes that are important for development and maintaining cell identity. By modifying the structure of DNA and associated proteins, Trithorax group proteins help keep genes active, ensuring they are expressed when needed. This process is essential for proper growth and function in organisms. Essentially, they act like switches that promote gene activity, influencing everything from how cells behave to how an organism develops and responds to its environment.
