Promoter Gene
A promoter gene, also known as a regulatory gene, is a segment of DNA that initiates the transcription of a specific gene. It plays a vital role in gene expression by binding with transcription factors to regulate the initiation of RNA synthesis.
Examples:
- Noun: The promoter gene for insulin helps in the production of insulin hormone in the pancreas.
- Verb: Researchers are studying how to manipulate promoter genes to enhance plant growth.
