Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) gene is androgen regulated. The PSA promoter contains at position -170 the sequence AGAACAgcaAGTGCT, which is closely related to the ARE (androgen response element) consensus sequence GGTACAnnnTGTTCT. This sequence is a high affinity androgen receptor (AR) binding site and acts as a functional ARE in transfected LNCaP cells. A 35-base pair segment starting at...
