English term or phrase: housekeeping gene
Definition from Wikipedia:
A housekeeping gene is typically a constitutive gene that is required for the maintenance of basal cellular function, and are found in all human cells.[1][2] Although some housekeeping genes are expressed at relatively constant levels(such as HSP90 and Beta-actin), other housekeeping genes may vary depending on experimental conditions.

Example sentence(s):
  • Here, the non-regulation of seven housekeeping genes (beta-tubulin, cyclophilin, actin, elongation factor 1-alpha (ef1alpha), 18S rRNA, adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (aprt), and cytoplasmic ribosomal protein L2) during biotic (late blight) and abiotic stresses (cold and salt stress) was tested on potato plants using geNorm software. National Center for Biotechnology Inform
  • An inherent assumption in the use of housekeeping genes is that expression of the genes remains constant in the cells or tissues under investigation. Although exceptions to this assumption are well documented, housekeeping genes are of value in fully characterized systems. American Physiological Society
  • The researchers propose that many other housekeeping genes in addition to HPRT may also be found to regulate important developmental pathways. MediLexicon International Ltd

Definition from dictionary:
genes de menage / housekeeping genes. G. care asigura functiile indispensabile vietii tuturor tipurilor de celule. G. m. sunt exprimate cantitativ în marea majoritate a tipurilor celulare deoarece ele codifica proteine ubicuitare esentiale pentru procesele metabolice. Este cazul g. codante pentru sinteza enzimelor glicolizei, respiratiei celulare si ale diverselor metabolisme intermediare. Numarul g. m. este de aproximativ 10000 per genom haploid, iar ritmul de transcriptie al acestora este moderat, dar continuu.

Example sentence(s):
  • Genele care asigură desfăşurarea proceselor esenţiale pentru viaţa celulară, numite şi gene menajere (housekeeping genes) se exprimă în toate tipurile de celule. - medical book
