Note

E-box (Enhancer Box) is a DNA sequence found upstream of some promoter regions in eukaryotes that acts as a protein-binding site and is expressed in neurons, muscles, and other tissues. Its specific DNA sequence, CANNTG (where N can be any nucleotide), with a palindromic canonical sequence of CACGTG [1] is recognized and bound by transcription factors to initiate gene transcription.
