An internal control region is a sequence of DNA located with the coding region
The coding region of a gene, also known as the coding sequence (CDS), is the portion of a gene's DNA or RNA that codes for protein. Studying the length, composition, regulation, splicing, structures, and functions of coding regions compared to no ...

In biology, the word gene (from , ; "...Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity..." meaning ''generation'' or ''birth'' or ''gender'') can have several different meanings. The Mendelian gene is a ba ...
that binds regulatory elements such as activators or repressors
In molecular genetics, a repressor is a DNA-binding protein, DNA- or RNA-binding protein that inhibits the Gene expression, expression of one or more genes by binding to the Operator (biology), operator or associated Silencer (DNA), silencers. ...
. This region can recruit RNA Polymerase
In molecular biology, RNA polymerase (abbreviated RNAP or RNApol), or more specifically DNA-directed/dependent RNA polymerase (DdRP), is an enzyme that synthesizes RNA from a DNA template.
Using the enzyme helicase, RNAP locally opens the ...
