Abstract excerpt
Expression of the hMLH1 gene, one of the DNA mismatch repair genes, is frequently repressed in various cancers such as colorectal, ovarian, gastric, and endometrial origins with a microsatellite instable phenotype. In this study, we investigated details of the relationship between the transcriptional activity and the protein-binding sites in the 5'-flanking region of the hMLH1 gene. Luciferase reporter gene...
