Abstract:
The 5' end of a gene (GLT4) encoding a human insulin-responsive glucose transporter was isolated from a human lambda Fix genomic library and sequenced. The human sequence, as compared to the mouse GLT4 promoter [Kaestner et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87 (1990) 251-255], revealed an overall homology of 81%. Putative transcription controlling sequences were identified.
