Abstract excerpt
The human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor mediates the insulinotropic effects of the incretin hormone GLP-1. It is expressed in a cell- and tissue-specific manner. Recently, we cloned the 5'-region of the GLP-1 receptor gene and found that tissue and cell specificity is lost by 5'-deletion to -574. In this region proximal to the main transcription start point three putative binding sites for Sp1 were...
