chemoinducer
A chemoinducer is a substance that triggers or promotes a chemical reaction. This term is often used in biology and biochemistry to describe molecules that initiate specific cellular processes or biochemical pathways. For instance, in the context of gene expression, a chemoinducer might be a molecule that binds to a regulator protein, causing it to activate or deactivate a gene. This activation or deactivation leads to the production or suppression of certain proteins, thereby altering cellular function.
Chemoinducers can also be involved in developmental processes. In some organisms, specific chemical signals released by
