What do you call a short piece of DNA that codes for a certain protein?

DNA does not make proteins directly. Rather, the DNA is the mother-of-all recipes that specialized transcription proteins (tRNA) read to make messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA is the specific recipe to make specific proteins. The specific code of DNA are made of regions called introns and exons. Exons are what the gene has coded for and introns are "spacers". I remember exons are exactly what is needed and introns are intervening sequences.

How can you increase CREB levels?
CREB is a transcription factor whose name is short for cAMP response element-binding protein. It is classically activated by the cAMP intracellular signaling cascade, in which elevated intracellular cAMP levels activate cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). PKA then activates CREB by phosphorylating it on specific serine and threonine admino acid residues, changing the properties of CREB so that it can bind DNA and other proteins to regulate transcription of certain genes.
