 Lac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lac is the scarlet resinous secretion of the insect Laccifer lacca.

 Control of Gene Expression
During normal growth on a glucose-based medium, the lac repressor is bound to the operator region of the lac operon, preventing transcription.
However, in the presence of an inducer of the lac operon, the repressor protein binds the inducer and is rendered incapable of interacting with the operator region of the operon.
The repression of the lac operon under these conditions is termed catabolite repression and is a result of the low levels of cAMP that result from an adequate glucose supply.

 Prokaryotic Gene Regulation
The operon is under the control of the adjacent lacI gene, encoding the lactose repressor.
