Glucose-Induced Transcription of the Insulin Gene Is Mediated by Factors Required for β-Cell-Type-Specific Expression
1 Feb 1994
Abstract excerpt
The insulin gene is expressed exclusively in pancreatic islet beta cells. The principal regulator of insulin gene transcription in the islet is the concentration of circulating glucose. Previous studies have demonstrated that transcription is regulated by the binding of trans-acting factors to specific cis-acting sequences within the 5'-flanking region of the insulin gene. To identify the cis-acting control...
