The structural gene codes for the actual RNA molecule that will be transcribed. The promoter is a sequence at the beginning of the gene that signals the start site for transcription, but does not carry the actual genetic information. The regulatory portion controls gene expression but is not transcribed itself. The entire gene includes all these components, but only the structural gene carries the actual genetic information.
