The cis-regulatory element Gsl5 is indispensable for proximal straight tubule cell-specific transcription of core 2 beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase in the mouse kidney.

Abstract excerpt

Gsl5 regulates the expression of a glycolipid and glycoproteins that contain the Le(X) epitope in the mouse kidney through tissue-specific transcriptional regulation of the core 2 beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (core 2 GnT) gene. The core 2 GnT gene has six exons and produces three alternatively spliced transcripts. Gsl5 regulates only the expression of the kidney-type mRNA, which is transcribed from...
