Housekeeping gene

The housekeeping gene expression levels are fine-tuned to meet the metabolic requirements in various tissues.

[8] Transcription start sites of housekeeping genes can span over a region of around 100 bp whereas transcription start sites of developmentally regulated genes are usually focused in a narrow region.

There are transcription factors that are specifically enriched on and regulate housekeeping gene promoters.

In particular, the Rho-related genes are important in nuclear trafficking (i.e.: mitosis) as well as with mobility along the cytoskeleton in general.
