Insulator
An insulator is a genetic boundary element that blocks the interaction between enhancers and promoters. Insulators therefore determine the set of genes an enhancer can influence. The need for them arises where two adjacent genes on a chromosome have very different transcription patterns, and it is critical that the inducing or repressing mechanisms of one do not interfere with the neighbouring gene. Insulator activity is thought to occur primarily through the 3D structure of DNA mediated by the protein CTCF.
