Translational Regulation Importance Flashcards
(3 cards)
1
Q
Tissue specific expression
A
We do not need all types of proteins present universally in the tissues in our bodies. Different tissues have specific function and need proteins specific to their function.
2
Q
Temporal expression
A
We don’t need all proteins to be expressed all the time. Functions are carried out as and when the body requires it so we need to control when these proteins are expressed.
3
Q
Biological processes
A
Regulation of translation is important for essential biological processes like appropriate development, differentiation and tumour suppression.
