Cloning and Characterization of the Human Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Receptor Gene 5′-Flanking Region

Abstract excerpt

The insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGFIR) is a membrane-bound glycoprotein that mediates the action of insulin-like growth factors. The cDNAs for the human IGFIR have been cloned and expressed, but the structures of the gene and its promoter have not been elucidated. In this study, we isolated an IGFIR promoter clone from a human chromosome 15 library. This clone contained the promoter, first exon, and a...
