Abstract excerpt
Four variants of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1) mRNA, FGF-1.A, -1.B, -1.C, and -1.D, originate from four discrete promoters of the gene. Each promoter is coupled with its 5'-untranslated exon. These four promoters are separated by as much as 70 kbp in the FGF-1 locus. The present study indicates that expression of these transcripts in different cell types is regulated by distinct mechanisms. FGF-1.C mRNA...
