Abstract excerpt
The insulin promoter is regulated by ubiquitous as well as pancreatic β-cell-specific transcription factors. In the insulin promoter, GG2-GG1/A2-C1 (bases - 149 to - 116 in the human insulin promoter) play important roles in regulating β-cell-specific expression of the insulin gene. However, these events were identified through in vitro studies, and we are unaware of comparable in vivo studies. In this study, we...
