How many transcription factors are there?

In molecular biology and genetics, a transcription factor is a protein that binds to specific DNA sequences, thereby controlling the flow (or transcription) of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA.

My question is simply how many transcription factors are there in the genomes of:

  • Humans
  • Anopheles gambiae (or it's taxonomic relatives)
  • Less prioritized: any other species
