- An agent that represses
- A repressor is a DNA-binding protein that regulates the expression of one or more genes by binding to the operator and blocking the attachment of RNA polymerase to the promoter, thus preventing transcription of the genes. This blocking of expression is called repression.
- A protein that binds to a regulatory region adjacent to a gene and prevents transcription.
- A protein transcription factor with a negative effect on gene expression. (Compare activator.) A repressor may work in conjunction with one or more co-repressors. With or without co-repressors, the repressor commonly blocks access to the gene promoter by RNA polymerase (the transcribing enzyme). ...
- A regulatory protein that inhibits transcription from one or more genes. It can combine with an inducer (resulting in specific enzyme induction) or with an operator element (resulting in repression).
