An upstream activating sequence or upstream activation sequence (UAS) is a cis-acting regulatory sequence. It is distinct from the promoter and increases the expression of a neighbouring gene. Due to its essential role in activating transcription, the upstream activating sequence is often considered to be analogous to the function of the enhancer in multicellular eukaryotes.[1] Upstream activation sequences are a crucial part of induction, enhancing the expression of the protein of interest through increased transcriptional activity.[2] The upstream activation sequence is found adjacently upstream to a minimal promoter (TATA box) and serves as a binding site for transactivators. If the transcriptional transactivator does not bind to the UAS in the proper orientation then transcription cannot begin
Pale is a tyrosine hydroxylase, the first and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of dopamine (and eventually, melanin). Dopamine has critical roles in system development. We also provide Pale promoter in BBa_K2374001.

Functional Parameters
TH is involved in step 1 of the subpathway that synthesizes dopamine from L-tyrosine and plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons.
