The phrase "able to regulate the expression of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing biological processes, gene expression, or any situation where control over the manifestation of something is being described.
Example: "The researchers discovered a new protein that is able to regulate the expression of specific genes involved in cell growth."
Alternatives: "capable of controlling the expression of" or "able to manage the expression of".
Since overexpression of fezf2 can lead to Wnt activation in early stage embryos, when neither lhx2 nor lhx9 is yet expressed, it stands to reason that Fezf2 must be able to regulate the expression of additional targets that are responsible for the expanded activation of Wnt signalling in the early dorsoanteriorisation of embryos.
Both nicotine and phenanthrene were able to regulate the expression of a large number of proteins as revealed by 2D electrophoresis.
Glucocorticoids appear to be able to regulate the expression of certain TLRs.
We investigated whether these factors were able to regulate the expression of Dll4 on BM-VPC.
Altogether, these results suggest that 25HC is able to regulate the expression of ERα target genes like E2.
These three transcription factors are able to regulate the expression of each other, effectively forming a core transcriptional network governing pluripotency of hESC [7].
Therefore it has been speculated that I-86 transcripts might be able to regulate the expression level of the adult GAD67.
Apart from regulating the expression of miRNAs at the transcriptional level, ERα appears to be able to regulate the biogenesis of miRNAs.
Anderson and colleagues have shown that tocotrienol is able to regulate directly the expression of IKBKAP whose alteration is responsible for a neurodegenerative disease, familial dysautonomia [ 24, 25].
IL-21 was unable to rescue the expansion of the tolerant T cells, but was able to up-regulate the expression of CD43 and granzyme-B.
VEGF is able to up-regulate the expression of MMPs, which increase the degradation of the extracellular matrix, and to down-regulate TIMP-3, so altering the material properties of tendons [ 6, 114, 115].
