Identification of cis- and trans-Active Factors Regulating Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Gene Expression in Pancreatic β-Cells
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
Islet amyloid polypeptide is expressed almost exclusively in pancreatic beta- and delta-cells. Here we report that beta cell-specific expression of the human islet amyloid polypeptide gene is principally regulated by promoter proximal sequences. The sequences that control tissue-specific expression were mapped between nucleotides -2798 and +450 of the human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) gene using transgenic...
