Abstract excerpt
Islet beta cell type-specific transcription of the insulin gene is regulated by a number of cis-acting elements found within the proximal 5'-flanking region. The control sequences conserved between mammalian insulin genes are acted upon by transcription factors, like PDX-1 and BETA-2, that are also involved in islet beta cell function and formation. In the current study, we investigated the contribution to human...
