Summary

Description
English: The regulatory sequence elements (yellow) at the start of a eukaryotic protein-coding gene, can be immediately upstream of the open read frame (ORF, red), or many kilobases away (upsteam or downstream). Promoter and enhancer regions up-regulate (and silencers downregulate) transcription from DNA to mRNA. The 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions of that mRNA (UTR, blue) then regulate translation into the final protein product.
