Expression levels of the insulin-like growth factor-II gene ( <i>IGF2</i> ) in the human liver: developmental relationships of the four promoters
1 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
We have studied the insulin-like growth factor-II gene (IGF2) promoter usage in normal human liver from fetal to late adult life by quantifying the specific transcripts by RNase protection assays using exon-specific probes. While the fetal liver uses only three promoters (P2, P3, P4) for the transcription of IGF2, all four promoters can be used from the age of 2 months after birth. The levels of the individual...
