Promoters are regions of DNA that are not transcribed or translated. Instead, they serve as binding sites for the RNA polymerase and transcription factors, which eventually lead to the initiation of transcription. Once transcription is started, the RNA molecule is transcribed and processed into a mature mRNA that can be translated into a protein. However, the promoter region itself is not transcribed into RNA or translated into protein.
