Structure and Function of a Human Insulin-like Growth Factor-I Gene Promoter
1 Dec 1991
Abstract excerpt
We have identified and characterized a promoter regulatory region for the human insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene. The 5'-ends of IGF-I mRNAs were first mapped to a series of sites within a 158-nucleotide portion of exon 1 that was found to be structurally similar to the recently delineated transcription start region of the chicken IGF-I gene. In both species multiple initiation sites are probably a...
