Proteins (in short supply) interact with specific receptors on the cells outer membrane, triggering a cascade of events, which leads to the expression of specific genes and the production of the protein.
Gene expression is the process by which inheritable information from a gene, such as the DNA sequence, is made into a functional gene product, such as protein or RNA.
A variety of genes are involved in the control of cell growth and division. The cell cycle is the cell's way of replicating itself in an organized, step-by-step fashion. Tight regulation of this...
