The Proteome

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A proteome is the entire set of proteins a given cell type produces, and unlike the genome, it is dynamic and cell-type-specific.

Show

A liver cell and a neuron share the same genome but produce different proteomes, because they express different genes.

Watch for

A proteome is what a cell actually produces, not what its genome could produce — expression, not gene presence, determines it.
