Code for

In genetics, to code for means a gene contains the instructions on how to build a particular protein, as in the gene codes for the protein.

Note that the one gene, one protein[?] concept is now known to be simplistic. For example, a single gene may produce multiple products, depending on how its transcription is regulated.
