The human transcription factor AP-2 gamma may rely on an initiator element.( )

2003 MAR 11 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- According to recent research from the United States, "Human activation protein-2 gamma (hAP-2gamma) is a key developmental transcription factor. It has been implicated in mammary carcinogenesis through its regulation of HER-2/neu proto-oncogene and estrogen receptor gene. The hAP-2gamma gene is located on human chromosome 20q13.2.

"We cloned this gene, deduced its genomic structure, and mapped and analyzed its promoter. The hAP-2gamma gene contains seven exons. Primer extension analysis and 5'-rapid amplification of complementary DNA ends studies show that there is a single transcription start site 232 nt upstream of the …
