Regulation of the mouse protein targeting to glycogen (PTG) promoter by the FoxA2 forkhead protein and by 3',5'-cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate in H4IIE hepatoma cells.

abstract：:Porcine serum contains five insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs), whose regulation has been studied by ligand blotting. To more accurately quantify changes in two specific forms of IGFBP a heterologous RIA for porcine (p) IGFBP-2 was developed, and IGFBP-1 levels were analyzed by immunoblotting. By RIA...
