Regulation of pdx-1 Gene Expression
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The homeodomain-containing transcription factor pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX-1) plays a key role in pancreas development and in beta-cell function. Upstream sequences of the gene up to about -6 kb show islet-specific activity in transgenic mice. Attempts to identify functional regulatory elements involved in the controlled expression of the pdx-1 gene led to the identification of distinct distal...
