  1. enhancer

    An enhancer is a short region of DNA that can be bound by proteins (activators) to increase the likelihood that transcription of a particular gene will occur. These sequences are capable of significantly enhancing the expression of genes. Enhancers can be located upstream, downstream, or even within the gene they effect, and their orientation in the genome is not fixed. They play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression.
