Molecular cloning and characterization of CHM1L, a novel membrane molecule similar to chondromodulin-I.

abstract：:To clarify the mechanism of transcriptional induction of the rat liver acyl-CoA oxidase gene by hypolipidemic agents, we searched for cis-acting regulatory sequences in the 5' upstream region of the gene by transfection studies. We found that the sequence between -639 and -472 acts as a peroxisome proliferator-respons...
