Gene product
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| Look up gene product or gene products in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
A gene product is the biochemical material, either RNA or protein, resulting from expression of a gene. A measurement of the amount of gene product is sometimes used to infer how active a gene is. Abnormal amounts of gene product can be correlated with disease-causing alleles, such as the overactivity of oncogenes which can cause cancer.
