sääntelytekijä
A sääntelytekijä, often translated as a regulatory factor or regulatory element, is a section of DNA that controls the transcription of genes. These regions are crucial for gene expression, determining when, where, and to what extent a gene is turned on or off. Sääntelytekijät can be located near the gene they regulate, known as proximal elements, or at considerable distances, referred to as enhancers or silencers.
The primary mechanism by which sääntelytekijät function is by binding to specific proteins called transcription factors.
The complexity of gene regulation in eukaryotes arises from the intricate interplay of multiple sääntelytekijät and
