Abstract excerpt
Mutants isolated from the Y1 mouse adrenocortical tumor cell line (clones 10r-9 and 10r-6) are resistant to ACTH because they fail to express the melanocortin-2 receptor (MC2R). In this study, we show that a luciferase reporter plasmid driven by 1,800 bp of the proximal promoter region of the MC2R was expressed poorly in the mutant cells compared with parent Y1 cells. The differential expression of the MC2R in...
