Summary Introduction

To review:

The activity of the enhancer that regulates the transcription of the gene located far from the gene.

Introduction:

An enhancer is a regulatory sequence on the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). It is located far from the promoter base sequence. In eukaryotes, they also assist in initiating transcription like the core promoter sequence. They get associated with transcriptional factors, which are proteins during initiation of transcription.

Enhancers can influence the transcription of genes far away on the same chromosome. How are the effects of enhancers restricted so that they do not exert inappropriate transcriptional activation of non-target genes?
What is an enhancer? How does it affect the transcription of distant genes?
How can binding of activators to an enhancer located far from the promoter influence transcription?
