Role of C/A Polymorphism at −20 on the Expression of Human Angiotensinogen Gene
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
-Angiotensinogen is the glycoprotein precursor of 1 of the most potent vasoactive hormones, angiotensin II. Human angiotensinogen gene contains a C/A polymorphism at -20 located between the TATA box and transcriptional initiation site. We show here that when nucleoside A is present at -20, this sequence binds to the estrogen receptor. We also show that transcriptional activity of reporter constructs containing...
