Human TFs data downloads:

This page contains the official list of human TFs from Lambert et al (PMID:29425488), along with all associated information. Candidate proteins were manually examined by a panel of experts based on available data. Proteins with experimentally demonstrated DNA binding specificity were considered TFs. Other proteins, such as co-factors and RNA binding proteins, were classified as non-TFs. All proteins (both TFs and non-TFs) are contained in the database, along with the associated evidence. See our accompanying publication (PMID:29425488) and website (http://humantfs.ccbr.utoronto.ca/) for further details. Accompanying DNA binding motifs can be obtained through the links below (http://cisbp.ccbr.utoronto.ca/). Questions and comments can be directed to Matt Weirauch (Matthew.Weirauch at cchmc.org).
