Abstract excerpt
The neuronal promoter of the human aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) gene contains a perfectly palindromic element (TB) that conforms to the structure of a POU domain protein binding site of the MORE+2 type. The TB motif (located at nts -900/-872 relative to the neuronal cap site) bears striking similarities with the dimeric Pit-1 binding site from growth hormone gene promoter (GH-1), and it enhanced the...
