Säätelijägeenien
Säätelijägeenit, also known as regulatory genes, play a crucial role in controlling gene expression. They encode proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences, either activating or repressing the transcription of other genes. This precise regulation is essential for the proper development, differentiation, and function of all living organisms. Without säätelijägeenit, cellular processes would occur in a chaotic and uncoordinated manner, leading to developmental abnormalities or disease.
These genes are often part of complex regulatory networks, where the product of one säätelijägeeni can influence
Mutations in säätelijägeenit can have profound consequences. A faulty säätelijägeeni might lead to a gene being
