Glossary Term
A 50-150bp DNA sequence that increases the rate of transcription of coding sequences. It may be located at various distances and in either orientation upstream from, downstream from or within a structural gene. When bound by a specific transcription factor it increases the levels of expression of the gene, but is not sufficient alone to cause expression. Distinguished from a promoter, that is alone sufficient to cause expression of the gene when bound.
Pcr Terms
Indicators
This gene plays a role in DNA repair and regulation of transcription.
Indicators
This gene is involved in calcium-independent cellular adhesion and in the regulation of immune responses.
Glossary Term
Changes in the regulation of the expression of gene activity without alteration of genetic structure.
Pcr Terms
Indicators
This gene plays a role in cellular proliferation and is involved in the oncogenic process through amplification and/or overexpression in several cancers.
Indicators
This gene is involved in signal transduction pathways that result in cellular proliferation or differentiation. The gene has also been associated with numerous cancers.
Indicators
This gene is involved in neuronal development and plays a role in receptor tyrosine kinase signal transduction that regulates cellular proliferation and differentiation.
Indicators
