gene product (plural gene products)

1. (genetics) RNA or protein product of a gene
   • 1988 April 1, “Antibodies to the period gene product of drosophila reveal diverse tissue distribution and rhythmic changes in the visual system”, in Neuron‎, volume 1, number 2, page 141:

     Polyclonal antibodies were prepared against the period gene product, which influences biological rhythms in D. melanogaster, by using small synthetic peptides from the per sequence as immunogens.

   • 1999, Strachan, Tom and Read, Andrew, “Molecular Pathology”, in Human Molecular Genetics 2‎, →ISBN:

     Certain gene functions, however, are inherently dosage-sensitive (Fisher and Scambler, 1994). These include:
     * gene products that are part of a quantitative signaling system whose function depends on partial or variable occupancy of a receptor, DNA-binding site, etc.;
     * gene products that compete with each other to determine a developmental or metabolic switch;
     * gene products that co-operate with each other in interactions with fixed stoichiometry (such as the α and β globins or many structural proteins).
     In each case the gene product is titrated against something else in the cell.

   • 2009, The National Library of Medicine, “Exercises: Using Map Viewer”, in The NCBI Handbook‎, →OCLC:

     In this case, we find that the majority of the predicted protein matches the FMR1 gene product but that we have introduced some novel peptide sequence at the amino-terminal end as well as some near the carboxy terminus.
