Abstract excerpt
We herein report that mRNA expression of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) and its protein synthesis decline in response to sterol depletion in HepG2 cells, and we functionally characterized the MTP gene promoter in an effort to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which MTP gene transcription is regulated. Luciferase assays using truncated versions of the reporter gene revealed that the region at...
