    • 2003, Fernando de Jesus Regateiro, Manual de Genética Médica‎[1], →ISBN, page 33:
      A regulação da transcrição de um determinado gene, nos seres eucariotas superiores, envolve sequências promotoras e sequências intensificadoras (Fig. III.3). A sequência promotora está localizada imediatamente antes do ponto em que se inicia a transcrição. A sequência intensificadora pode-se localizar antes da sequência promotora à distância de algumas quilobases (2kb ou mais), a seguir ao gene (no sentido em que se processa a transcrição), interposta no próprio gene ou ainda na cadeia de DNA complementar do gene em causa.
      The regulation of the transcription of a given gene, in higher eukaryotes, involves promoter sequences and enhancer sequences (Fig. III.3). The promoter sequence is located immediately before the point at which transcription begins. The enhancer sequence may be located before the promoter sequence at a distance of a few kilobases (2kb or more), after the gene (in the direction in which transcription occurs), interposed in the gene itself or even in the complementary DNA strand of the gene in question.
