Gene expression regulation is the process by which a cell controls the amount and timing of gene expression, or the translation of genetic information into functional proteins. This process is essential for proper cell function and development, as it determines which genes are turned on or off in response to internal and external signals. Gene expression regulation involves a complex network of molecular mechanisms, including transcription factors, chromatin remodeling, RNA processing, and post-translational modifications. Dysregulation of gene expression can lead to various diseases, including cancer, developmental disorders, and autoimmune conditions. Researchers study gene expression regulation to understand how genes are controlled and how it can be manipulated for therapeutic purposes.
