Abstract excerpt
The PCK gene, encoding cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, is specifically expressed in gluconeogenic tissues, liver and kidney. Hence it serves as a model of a class of single-copy genes whose transcription is restricted to a few tissues, rather than a unique tissue. To begin delineating the mechanisms that govern this pattern of expression, cis-regulatory elements of PCK were examined using transient...
