Abstract excerpt
The mouse P450 gene Cyp2a-4 encodes the hepatic steroid 15apha-hydroxylase. We have defined in the 5'-flanking sequence of Cyp2a-4 gene, a composite regulatory element (-61AGACCAAAGTCCGGCCTTC-42) which contains a potential CpG methylation site at position -50. Gel-shift assays indicate that this element consists of overlapped binding sites for a hepatocyte-enriched transcription factor HNF-4 and a Sp1-like...
