The Glucose-6-Phosphatase Catalytic Subunit Gene Promoter Contains Both Positive and Negative Glucocorticoid Response Elements
22 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Glucose-6-phosphatase catalyzes the final step in the gluconeogenic and glycogenolytic pathways. Glucocorticoids stimulate glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit (G6Pase) gene transcription and studies performed in H4IIE hepatoma cells demonstrate the presence of a glucocorticoid response unit (GRU) in the proximal G6Pase promoter. In vitro deoxyribonuclease I footprinting analyses show that the glucocorticoid...
