The homeodomain is one of several small DNA binding motifs with DNA binding specificity which is present into approximately 235 transcription factors.
The homeodomain is one of several small DNA binding motifs with DNA binding specificity which is present into approximately 235 transcription factors.
The homeodomain protein folds into three α-helices ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_helix Wikipédia]), with helices 1 and 2 antiparallel to each other and perpendicular to helix 3, and a flexible N-terminal arm.

Helices 2 and 3 form a helix-turn-helix type motif. ([http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Helix-turn-helix_motif  Protéopédia], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix-turn-helix Wikipedia])
