Abstract excerpt
Ferritin (Fer) is the major iron storage protein in man. Its synthesis is regulated both at the translational and transcriptional levels. In previous studies on transcriptional regulation of the human H-ferritin-encoding gene (FERH), a 160-bp promoter segment was analyzed [Bevilacqua et al., Gene 111 (1992) 255-260]. In order to obtain a more complete view of the elements involved in the transcriptional...
