[HTML][HTML] Identification of a functional peroxisome proliferator-responsive element in the murine fatty acid transport protein gene

BI Frohnert, TY Hui, DA Bernlohr - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 - ASBMB
Fatty acid transport protein (FATP), a plasma membrane protein implicated in controlling
adipocyte transmembrane fatty acid flux, is up-regulated as a consequence of adipocyte
differentiation and down-regulated by insulin. Based upon the sequence of the FATP gene
upstream region (Hui, TY, Frohnert, BI, Smith, AJ, Schaffer, JA, and Bernlohr, DA (1998) J.
Biol. Chem. 273, 27420–27429) a putative peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor
response element (PPRE) is present from− 458 to− 474. To determine whether the FATP …
