Distal promoter elements are regulatory DNA sequences that can be many kilobases distant from the gene that they regulate. They can either be enhancers...

regulatory sequences to be placed far from the transcription site. The distal promoter is upstream of the gene and may contain additional regulatory elements...

about 70% of promoters located near the transcription start site of a gene (proximal promoters) contain a CpG island. Distal promoter elements also frequently...

express the Pit-1 promoter in addition to the distal promoter. Oct-1 appears able to substitute for Pit-1 in activating the promoter in breast cancer cells...

schizophrenia subjects. Further these SNPs (rs1989787;rs1611115) and a distal promoter variant 19bp Ins/Del(rs141116007) were associated with scores of Abnormal...
