Abstract excerpt
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes the first committed step in gluconeogenesis in the liver. The murine PC gene possesses two promoters, the proximal (P1) and the distal (P2) which mediate production of distinct tissue-specific mRNA isoforms. By comparing the luciferase activities of 5'-nested deletions of the P1-promoter in the AML12 mouse hepatocyte cell line, the critical cis-acting elements required for...
