Protein expression is a subcomponent of gene expression. It consists of the stages after DNA has been traslated into amino acid chains (which is ultimately folded into proteins). Protein expression is commonly used by proteomics researchers to denote the measurement of the presence and abundance of one or more proteins in a particular cell or tissue. Gene expression, or simply expression, is the process by which a genes DNA sequence is converted into the structures and functions of a cell. ...
