Abstract excerpt
The human aldolase A gene is expressed in several tissues through the use of three alternative promoters. The activity of one of the promoters, pM, is restricted to skeletal muscle. We reported previously that a proximal 280 bp pM fragment confers tissue-specific expression to a CAT reporter gene in transgenic mice. This small regulatory region directs expression to muscle composed mainly of fast-twitch fibers....
