Lac Codes Proteins Lactose Produced Structural Gene Operon

Front Name the proteins produced from the structural gene in the lac operon. + roles of proteins
Back Lac operon proteins:
  • lacZ - codes for beta galactosidase (hydrolyses lactose)
  • lacY - codes for lactose permease (facilitates passage of lactose into cell)
  • lacA - codes for transacetylase (not fullly understood)
