The presence of distal and proximal promoters for rat mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase.

Sequence analysis using the Promoser program predicted two promoter-like regions for rat mtGPAT: a distal promoter approximately 30kb upstream and a proximal promoter near the first translational codon. Rat liver cells transfected with pGL3-basic vector containing the distal and proximal promoter resulted in 10.8- and 4.
