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.

Glossary Term
The simplest form of an antigenic determinant, on a complex antigenic molecule, which can combine with antibody or T cell receptor.
Pcr Terms
Indicators
This gene is involved in signal transduction pathways that result in cellular proliferation or differentiation. The gene has also been associated with numerous cancers.
Indicators
This gene is involved in neuronal development and plays a role in receptor tyrosine kinase signal transduction that regulates cellular proliferation and differentiation.
Indicators
This gene is involved in nucleotide excision repair and corrects sensitivity to UV radiation and defective nucleotide excision repair in xeroderma pigmentosum cells of complementation group D.
Indicators
This gene plays a regulatory role in transcription, cellular maintenance and hematopoiesis.
Tests
Erythrocytes are red blood cells. The sedimentation rate is the time it takes for your red blood cells to settle at the bottom of a test tube. An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a blood test that can show if you have inflammation in your body. Inflammation is your immune system's response to injury, infection, and many other conditions, including immune system disorders , certain cancers , and blood disorders .
