The Role of PTF1-P48 in Pancreatic Acinar Gene Expression
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
The 100-base pair ELA1 transcriptional enhancer drives high level transcription to pancreatic acinar cells of transgenic mice and in transfected pancreatic acinar cells in culture. The A element within the enhancer is the sole positively acting element for acinar specificity. We show that the acinar cell-specific bHLH protein PTF1-P48 and the common bHLH cofactor HEB are part of the PTF1 complex that binds the A...
