Hepatitis C virus nonstructural protein-5A activates sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c through transcription factor Sp1.

abstract：:The human pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) family consists of eleven closely related molecules mainly synthesized by placental syncytiotrophoblasts and whose function(s) are unknown. They belong to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family. As a step toward understanding PSG function, we have analysed 84 PSG cDNA...
