Neuron-specific expression of the human dopamine beta-hydroxylase gene requires both the cAMP-response element and a silencer region.
1 Aug 1993
Abstract excerpt
Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), the enzyme catalyzing the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine, is specifically expressed in adrenergic and noradrenergic neurons in the central nervous system. DNase I hypersensitive sites were found in the 5'-flanking region of the DBH gene in noradrenergic human neuroblastoma SK-N-BE(2)C cells, but not in DBH-nonexpressing HeLa cells. We report here that the 4.3-kilobase...
