Abstract excerpt
Human prostate-specific transglutaminase (hTG(P)) is a cross-linking enzyme encoded by the TGM4 gene. The TGM4 gene promoter was characterized by deletion mapping and mutational analysis. Promoter constructs, containing the minimal promoter requirements, could efficiently drive transcription in the prostate cancer cell lines PC346C and LNCaP and the hepatic cancer cell line Hep3B. The region between positions...
