Disease relevance of lacA

 

High impact information on lacA

 

Biological context of lacA

  • Our findings indicate that the natural polarity of the operon (lacZ is expressed sixfold more strongly than lacA) is based on posttranslational effects and not on polarity of transcription [3].
 

Associations of lacA with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of lacA

  • These results support data regarding the natural polarity between lacZ versus lacA, the downstream gene [5].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of lacA
