title: Cloning and functional analysis of rat cyclin D2 promoter: multiple prolactin-responsive elements.
abstract: Structure and function of the promoter region of rat cyclin D2 gene were investigated by cloning, sequence analysis and DNA mobility shift assay using nuclear extracts of prolactin-stimulated Nb2 cells. The results show that the expression of rat cyclin D2 gene is not dependent on the TATA-box but is stimulated by multiple transcription factors induced by prolactin at an immediate-early stage of the cell cycle.
