Glossary Term
A 50-150bp DNA sequence that increases the rate of transcription of coding sequences. It may be located at various distances and in either orientation upstream from, downstream from or within a structural gene. When bound by a specific transcription factor it increases the levels of expression of the gene, but is not sufficient alone to cause expression. Distinguished from a promoter, that is alone sufficient to cause expression of the gene when bound.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Entamoeba histolytica DNA present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli eae DNA present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli LtA, ST1a and/or ST1b DNA present in a sample.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in DNA repair and regulation of transcription.
