Gene regulatory networks, which are complex high-dimensional stochastic dynamical systems, are often subject to evident intrinsic fluctuations. It is deemed reasonable to model the systems by the chemical Langevin equations. Since the mRNA dynamics are faster than the protein dynamics, we have a two-time scales system. In general, the process of protein degradation involves time delays. In this paper, we take the system memory into consideration in which we consider a model with a complete memory represented by an integral delay from $ 0 $ to $ t $. Based on the averaging principle and perturbed test function method, this work examines the weak convergence of the slow-varying process. By treating the fast-varying process as a random noise, under appropriate conditions, it is shown that the slow-varying process converges weakly to the solution of a stochastic differential delay equation whose coefficients are the average of those of the original slow-varying process with respect to the invariant measure of the fast-varying process.

Keywords: Weak convergence, two-time scales, time delay, gene expression, chemical Langevin equation.
