Folate uptake in the human intestine: Promoter activity and effect of folate deficiency
10 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
The intestinal folate absorption process occurs via a specialized mechanism that involves the reduced folate carrier (RFC). In humans, multiple variants of the hRFC (driven by multiple promoters) have been identified with variant I being the prominent form expressed in the intestine. While it is known that promoter B (pB) of hRFC drives the expression of this variant, little is known about the minimal region...
