Regulation of the Human Ghrelin Promoter Activity by Transcription Factors, NF-κB and Nkx2.2
To examine the gene expression of ghrelin, a growth hormone releasing and appetite stimulating hormone from stomach, we constructed human ghrelin promoter-reporter vectors and analyzed the promoter activity. The ghrelin promoter activity was high when cultured cells that express ghrelin mRNA endogen...
