Abstract excerpt
To investigate the DNA regulatory sequences -618 to -593 (initiator ATG is +1) of the insulin receptor (IR) promoter required for IR gene expression, primary cultured hepatocytes of rats were transfected with plasmids containing the 5'-flanking sequences of the rat IR gene fused to the luciferase gene. When three copies of the nucleotides -618 to -593 of the IR promoter were transfected, the reporter activity was...
