摘要:
The alpha-subunit of human pyruvate dehydrogenase (E-1) is encoded by two separate genes. The gene located on chromosome X (PDHA-1) is expressed in somatic tissues, whereas the second gene (PDHA-2), located on chromosome 4, is expressed only in post-meiotic spermatogenic cells. A genomic fragment harboring the human gene encoding PDHA-2 has been isolated and approximately 800 nucleotides of the promoter region have been characterized. Functional studies of the promoter indicate the presence of both enhancer and repressor elements that are common to other genes that are only expressed in mature sperm. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
