What Does SRE Stand For?
SRE stands for Serum Responsive Element
SRE, or Serum Responsive Element, refers to a specific DNA sequence found in the promoter region of certain genes. It plays a critical role in regulating gene expression in response to serum and other extracellular signals. SREs are recognized by transcription factors that bind to these elements, facilitating the activation or repression of target genes, thereby influencing various cellular processes such as growth, differentiation, and metabolism.
