TAP Family: bZIP
Jakoby et al (2002): In plants, basic region/leucine zipper motif (bZIP) transcription factors regulate processes including pathogen defence, light and stress signalling, seed maturation and flower development.
This TAP family belongs to the Basic leucine zipper factors (bZIP) structural class of the Basic domains structural superclass, as defined in Plant-TFClass (Blanc-Mathieu et al. 2024)
