Evolutionary Duplication of a Hepatic Control Region in the Human Apolipoprotein E Gene Locus
1 Nov 1995
Abstract excerpt
We have identified a second hepatic control region (HCR-2) in the human apolipoprotein (apo) E gene locus that confers liver expression of the human apoE gene in transgenic mice. This HCR-2 sequence is located 27 kilobases downstream of the apoE gene and 10 kilobases downstream of the previously described liver-specific enhancer (HCR-1). Nucleotide sequence analysis of the HCR-2 region revealed a sequence that...
