Glossary Enhancers

specific DNA sequences that boost gene activity

Enhancers are specific DNA sequences that can increase the activity of genes, even if they are located far away from the gene they regulate. They work by binding to proteins called transcription factors, which help initiate the process of converting DNA into RNA, ultimately leading to protein production. This regulation is crucial for controlling gene expression in various biological processes, including hair growth and development.
