post-transcriptional regulation (sequestration, alternative splicing,miRNA)
post-translational regulation (reversible,irrevesible)

Post-translational regulation refers to the control of the levels of active protein either by means of reversible events (Post-translational modifications, such as Phosphorylation or sequestration) or by means of irreversible events (proteolysis).
