Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the rat alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) gene is induced by glucocorticoids. In addition to the glucocorticoid response element which maps to bases -120 to -107, sequences located between bases -106 to -42 have been shown to be necessary for hormone induction. We have previously identified multiple sites of C/EBP interaction with the AGP promoter in the region -106 to -64. In this study, we purify...
