ABSTRACT:
A vector includes an enhancer region derived from a transcriptional regulatory region of tyrosine hydroxylase gene wherein the enhancer region enhances transcription amount of a downstream gene in response to a test substance, a promoter which is functionally linked to downstream of the enhancer region, and a reporter gene which is functionally linked to downstream of the promoter.
