Enhancer can mean one of the following:
In genetics, an Enhancer (genetics) is a short region of DNA that can bind proteins called an activator (genetics), ...
Enhancer
A DNA sequence element to which transcriptional factors bind. Binding of transcriptional factors increases gene transcription.

Enhancer
In genetics, an enhancer is a short region of DNA which can be bound with proteins (namely, the trans-acting factors, much like a set of transcription factors) to enhance transcription levels of genes (hence the name) in a gene-cluster.
A transgenic construction inserted in a chromosome which is used to identify tissue-specific enhancers in the genome.
enhancers
silencers
Adjacent genes (RNA-coding as well as protein-coding) are often separated by an insulator which helps them avoid cross-talk between each other's promoters and enhancers (and/or silencers).
Enhancer
A cis-acting regulatory sequence that can increase transcription from an adjacent promoter.
enhancer
A DNA sequence that recognizes certain transcription factors that can stimulate transcription of nearby genes.

enhancer trap A type of DNA construct used to identify regulatory elements controlling spatial or temporal patterns of gene expression. The construct includes a reporter gene fused to a minimal or weak promoter.
Enhancer A DNA sequence, usually, but not necessarily, near the promoter, which will increase the level of transcription of genes attached to it on the same DNA molecule.
enhancer - DNA sequence in a gene that influences the gene's expression by increasing or decreasing its rate of RNA synthesis (via effects on binding and transcription of the basal transcription apparatus including RNA Polymerase); ...
Enhancer: A cis-acting (on either side of a gene) enhancer of promoter function without any promoter activity of its own. They are located 10 to 50 kb downstream or upstream of a gene. They may be tissue-specific.
Enhancers DNA sequences that have no promoter activity themselves but that can greatly enhance the activity of other promoters; enhancers can exert their stimulatory effect over a distance of several thousand nucleotides.
Enhancer
A cis-regulatory sequence that can elevate levels of transcription from an adjacent promoter. Many tissue specific enhancers can determine spatial patterns of gene expression in higher eukaryotes.
Enhancer
- A sequence that enhances trasncription from the promoter of a eukaryotic gene. May be several thousand base-pairs away from the promoter.

ENHANCER - A eukaryotic transcriptional control element which is a DNA sequence which acts at some distance to enhance the activity of a specific promoter sequence.
Enhancer: An enhancer is a nucleotide sequence to which transcription factor(s) bind, and which increases the transcription of a gene.
Distant regulatory elements, such as enhancers, silencers, and insulators, are experimentally difficult to identify.
Proteins called transcription factors function by binding to the promoter and to another region called the enhancer. The enhancer region may be located at a distance from the gene.
It is found in E26 transforming retrovirus (v-ets) of chickens and encodes a nuclear protein that can bind dna and regulates the initiation of transcription from a range of cellular and viral promoter and enhancer elements which may help activate ...
The foreign protein then has to be purified from all of the insect cells or the bacterial cells. It has to be purified and then it's delivered generally with some sort of immune enhancer to a person.
