Individual Mouse α-Fetoprotein Enhancer Elements Exhibit Different Patterns of Tissue-Specific and Hepatic Position-Dependent Activities
1 Sept 1995
Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the mouse alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) gene, which is expressed at high levels in the visceral endoderm of the yolk sac and fetal liver and at low levels in the fetal gut, is regulated by three distinct upstream enhancer regions. To investigate the activities of these regions, each enhancer was individually linked to a heterologous human beta-globin promoter fused to the mouse class I H-2Dd structural...
