Transcription factor AP-2 delta (activating enhancer binding protein 2 delta), also known as TFAP2D, is a human
gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings. The Mendelian gene is a basic unit of heredity. The molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. There are two types of molecular genes: protei ...
