Abstract excerpt
Treatment of HepG2 with all-trans retinoic acid (RA) induces expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS) mRNA and protein. Transfections show that the FAS promoter positively responds to retinoid X receptor (RXR) but not to RA receptor (RAR) agonists. Since RXR alone is capable of mediating the RA response of FAS, the existence of a classical RA-responsive element in the FAS promoter may be ruled out. Binding sites...
