The TTR gene produces the protein transthyretine. Transthyretine transports vitamin A and a hormone called throzine throughout the body. The protein is produced in an area of the brain called the choroid plexus.

What protein does the eye color gene encode?
melanin
What is the difference between a cistron and a gene?
Cistrons encode only a single protein. Genes code for both proteins and functional RNA.
Do centromeres and telomeres encode special gene products?
true
Are mRNA molecules made from the same gene always edited the same way?
No. A gene is transcribed to pre-mRNA which can then be 'edited' or spliced in different ways to generate different mRNAs to encode different protein isforms. This is known as alternative splicing.
What is The study of the full protein sets that genomes encode?
proteomics
What protein does the eye color gene encode?
melanin
What do genes encode?
Genes encode the instructions for building proteins, which are the primary functional molecules in cells. These proteins determine the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs in an organism. Additionally, genes also regulate gene expression, cell processes, and overall development.
What is the difference between a cistron and a gene?
Cistrons encode only a single protein. Genes code for both proteins and functional RNA.
Section of DNA within a gene that do not encode part of the protein that the gene produces are called?
Introns (the stuff between the exons), and UTR (Untranslated region, the stuff before the start codon, and after the stop codon).
Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on?
its random really, some genes are recessive, and some are dominant if a gene is dominant than it will be expressed if it is present the only way for a recessive gene to be expressed is if there are two alleles for that traitIt's not random at all. There can be many reasons. One classic reason is given here. First, know that most genes encode proteins. A dominant gene (really, an allele) may encode for a functional protein while a recessive gene may encode for a non-functional proteindominant genes contain genes that are strong and recessive genes contain genes that are weak.

Difference between gene therapy and protein therapy?
at the gene level gene therapy is done and at the the protein level protein therapy is done
What is the section of DNA that codes for a protein called?
The section of DNA that codes for a protein is known as a gene.
Which parts of a gene are expressed as protein?
Coding sequences of a gene are expressed as protein
How does gene code for an antibody?
antibody is just a protein. Every gene codes a protein. So an antibody protein is coded by codons (triplets of nucleotides) in the gene.
