hZip1 has been characterized as the major zinc uptake transporter regulating the accumulation of zinc in prostate cells. The mechanisms regulating expression of hZip1 have not been described. To explore the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of the hZip1 gene, we determined the putative promoter sequence for hZip1 and identified the potential transcription start site within the predicted hZip1 promoter region. To further characterize the promoter region for basal hZip1 transcription, 3' an ...[more]
