Transcriptional activation of the mouse obese (ob) gene by CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha.
23 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Like other adipocyte genes that are transcriptionally activated by CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBP alpha) during preadipocyte differentiation, expression of the mouse obese (ob) gene is immediately preceded by the expression of C/EBP alpha. While the 5' flanking region of the mouse ob gene contains several consensus C/EBP binding sites, only one of these sites appears to be functional. DNase I...
