Enhancer may mean one of the following:
- In genetics, an enhancer is a short region of DNA that can bind proteins called an activator (genetics). Binding of activators to this enhancer region can initiate the transcription of a gene that may be some distance away from the enhancer, or can even be on a different chromosome. The increase in transcription is due to the activators recruiting transcription factors, which enhances the binding of RNA polymerase.
- Exciter (effect), audio effect unit.
- Enhancer (band) is a French Rapcore band.
