Hypoxia-Responsive Elements
DNA sequences in a gene's promoter region that mediate expression during hypoxia. Since unlike normal tissues, solid tumors frequently have regions of hypoxia, suicide genes controlled by hypoxia-responsive elements may provide a means for cancer-specific gene therapy. (NCI Thesaurus)
