The lac operon consists of one regulatory gene (the 
gene - here the term 
does not refer to inducer, rather it is derived from the word inhibitor) and three structural genes ( 
, and 
). The 
gene codes for the repressor of the lac operon. The 
gene codes for beta-galactosidase ( 
-gal), which is primarily responsible for the hydrolysis of the disaccharide, lactose into its monomeric units, galactose and glucose. The 
gene codes for permease, which increases permeability of the cell to 
-galactosides. The 
gene encodes a transacetylase.
