{{ ::proteincodinggene.gif|}}

A [[protein coding gene]] consists of a [[promoter]] followed by the coding sequence for the protein and then a [[terminator]].

The promoter is a base-pair sequence that specifies where [[transcription]] begins.

The coding sequence is a base-pair sequence that includes coding information for the [[polypeptide]] chain specified by the gene.

The terminator is a sequence that specifies the end of the mRNA transcript.
