Gene suppressors are proteins that inhibit the expression of specific genes in the body. The term gene suppressor is commonly used in molecular biology, but there are many synonyms that refer to the same concept. Some of these synonyms include transcriptional repressors, gene silencers, negative regulators, and suppressive factors. These synonyms help researchers to communicate more effectively in their research by using interchangeable terms for the same concept. Gene suppressors play a critical role in regulating gene expression in the body, ensuring that only essential genes are active at the right time. Understanding the role of gene suppressors is essential for developing treatments for genetic diseases and disorders.
