genes involved

Pronunciation American British Australian Indian
E.g.
  • Most genes involved affect ion channels, either directly or indirectly.
  • Mutations in several genes involved in the G2/M transition are implicated in many cancers.

other genes

Pronunciation American British Australian Indian
E.g.

target genes

Pronunciation American British Australian Indian
E.g.

receptor genes

Pronunciation American British Australian Indian
E.g.

expression of genes

Pronunciation American British Australian Indian
E.g.
  • nuclear proteins that regulate the expression of genes.
