GENE EXPRESSION

Specialty Definition: GENE EXPRESSION

DomainDefinition

Health

The phenotypic manifestation of a gene or genes by the processes of gene action. (references)

Medicine

The synthesis of a normal, complete and functional polypeptide or protein from an appropriate gene. Formation depends on accurate transcription and translation as well as, in many cases, post-translational processing and compartmentalization of the nascent polypeptide. Failure of any one of these processes to be performed correctly can result in a gene not being expressed. Source: European Union. (references)

Photo Album: GENE EXPRESSION

ThumbnailDescription & CreditThumbnailDescription & Credit

Proteins in the cytoplasm target and activate biochemical reactions in specific cellular components, such as the mitochondria and the nucleus. Within the nucleus, gene expression is activated and leads to new protein synthesis, which are formed on the endoplasmic reticulum. These proteins are transported via the Golgi complex for packaging and distribution to cellular membrane and for extracellular release. See artwork: (on disk in file).

It reflects the gene expression differences between two different mouse tissues. Credit: Dr. Jason Kang, NCI.

Scientists at the ARS/University of California Plant Gene Expression Center are the first in the world to report success in genetically engineering barley. Some of the bioengineered barley carries a gene that may help the plants resist attack by barley yellow dwarf virus. P. Credit: USDA ARS News; photo by Jack Dykinga..
