The gene is ...
Structure of the human uncoupling protein UCP1. An uncoupling protein (UCP) is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that is a regulated proton channel or transporter.An uncoupling protein is thus capable of dissipating the proton gradient generated by NADH-powered pumping of protons from the mitochondrial matrix to the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
In contrast to UCP1 and UCP3, which are primarily expressed in adipose and smooth muscle, UCP2 is expressed on many different tissues [6] including the kidney, liver, GI tract, brain, and skeletal muscle. The exact mechanisms of anion transfer by UCPs are not known. [7] UCPs contain the three homologous protein domains of MACPs.
The process of gene expression is used by all known life—eukaryotes (including multicellular organisms), prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), and utilized by viruses—to generate the macromolecular machinery for life. In genetics, gene expression is the most fundamental level at which the genotype gives rise to the phenotype, i.e. observable ...
c-Myc also plays an important role in stem cell biology and was one of the original Yamanaka factors used to reprogram somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells. [6] In the human genome, C-myc is located on chromosome 8 and is believed to regulate expression of 15% of all genes [7] through binding on enhancer box sequences .
Regulation of gene expression, or gene regulation, [1] includes a wide range of mechanisms that are used by cells to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products (protein or RNA). Sophisticated programs of gene expression are widely observed in biology, for example to trigger developmental pathways, respond to environmental ...
A gene signature or gene expression signature is a single or combined group of genes in a cell with a uniquely characteristic pattern of gene expression [1] that occurs as a result of an altered or unaltered biological process or pathogenic medical condition. [2] This is not to be confused with the concept of gene expression profiling.
In molecular biology, a reporter gene (often simply reporter) is a gene that researchers attach to a regulatory sequence of another gene of interest in bacteria, cell culture, animals or plants. Such genes are called reporters because the characteristics they confer on organisms expressing them are easily identified and measured, or because ...
