Abstract excerpt
Membrane-associated prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthase (mPGES) is an inducible terminal enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway for prostaglandin E2, which participates in many biological processes. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism controlling the inducible expression of mPGES. The mouse mPGES gene consisted of three exons, and its 5'-proximal promoter contained consensus motifs for the binding of...
