435‐bp liver regulatory sequence in the liver fatty acid binding protein (L‐FABP) gene is sufficient to modulate liver regional expression in transgenic zebrafish

Abstract excerpt

Liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) is a small protein that is thought to play an important role in the intracellular binding and trafficking of long chain fatty acids in the liver. Expression of the gene encoding the zebrafish liver fatty acid binding protein is regulated by a 435-bp distal region (-1944 to -1510) of the L-FABP promoter. The 435-bp sequence is sufficient for gene activation in the liver...
