Abstract excerpt
Insulin induces apolipoprotein A-I, apoA-I gene transcription via a membrane receptor with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. This finding prompted us to ask whether the gene is stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF), EGF a peptide hormone that binds to another member of the receptor superfamily with tyrosine kinase activity. Our data showed that like insulin, EGF increased abundance of apoA-I protein and...
