A large number of neuronal phenotypic traits, including ion channels, neurotransmitters and receptors, are controlled by a common repressor sequence encoded in the regulatory portions of the genes. What began as a single repressor protein, termed REST, is now shown to be part of a larger transcriptional complex. Collectively, this complex helps establish gene expression patterns in neuronal versus non-neuronal cells.
