Abstract excerpt
Interactions of nuclear proteins with cis-control elements are involved in the programmed developmental expression of the islet polypeptide hormone genes. Three transcriptional control elements within 300 base pairs of the 5'-flanking region of the rat glucagon gene interact with regulatory cellular proteins and direct transcription only in glucagon-producing islet cells. Two islet cell-specific enhancer-like...
