gene expression regulation

Gene expression regulation is the process by which cells control how much of a specific gene’s product, usually a protein, is made. This control ensures that proteins are produced when needed and in the right amounts. Regulation can happen at different stages, such as turning genes on or off, adjusting how quickly they are transcribed into RNA, or modifying the RNA before it makes a protein. These mechanisms help cells adapt to their environment, maintain health, and develop properly. Essentially, gene regulation is the cell’s way of managing its genetic instructions efficiently.
