Pancreatic β Cell-specific Transcription of thepdx-1 Gene
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
To identify potential transactivators of pdx-1, we sequenced approximately 4.5 kilobases of the 5' promoter region of the human and chicken homologs, assuming that sequences conserved with the mouse gene would contain critical cis-regulatory elements. The sequences associated with hypersensitive site 1 (HSS1) represented the principal area of homology within which three conserved subdomains were apparent: area I...
