CPS1 is expressed in the liver at neonatal and adult stages in a CCAAT enhancer-binding protein-alpha (C/EBPalpha)-dependent manner. Despite expression of C/EBPalpha, CPS1 is not expressed in fetal liver, indicating an additional factor is involved in the regulation of CPS1 expression. The aim of this study ...[more]
