A molecular function that modulates the activity of a gene product or complex. Examples include enzyme regulators and channel regulators. [ GOC:dos GOC:pt ]
A molecular function regulator regulates the activity of its target via non-covalent binding that does not result in covalent modification to the target. Examples of molecular function regulators include regulatory subunits of multimeric enzymes and channels. Mechanisms of regulation include allosteric changes in the target and competitive inhibition.
