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.
Webster Dictionary
Enhancernoun
one who enhances; one who, or that which, raises the amount, price, etc

In genetics, an enhancer is a short region of DNA that can be bound with proteins to enhance transcription levels of genes in a gene cluster. While enhancers are usually cis-acting, an enhancer does not need to be particularly close to the genes it acts on, and sometimes need not be located on the same chromosome.
