title: Characterization of the 5' flanking region of the human NPT-1 Na+/phosphate cotransporter gene.
abstract: To elucidate the expression and regulation of the human type I Na+/phosphate transporter gene (NPT-1), the 5' flanking region of the NPT-1 gene was cloned, and its nucleotide sequence and function were determined. A genomic clone that contained approximately 14.0 kb of the 5'-flanking region of the NPT-1 gene was isolated. A single transcription start site was located 104 base pairs (bp) upstream of the 3' end of exon 1. In addition to the sequence of the 5'-flanking region contained a sequence weakly homologous to a TATA box at position -41 to -36 and many transcriptional regulatory elements. Transient expression revealed that a 45-bp region of proximal to exon 1, which contained TATA-like sequence, was sufficient for promoting luciferase expression in OK-cells derived from opossum kidney proximal tubule.
