Abstract excerpt
The promoter of the gene encoding the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) contains an octamer motif which is of importance for its activation by specific stimuli. We show that in contrast to the promoter of the neuronal nitric oxide synthase gene (nNOS) which is strongly activated by the Oct-2...
