Comparative genomics and experimental promoter analysis reveal functional liver-specific elements in mammalian hepatic lipase genes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mammalian hepatic lipase (HL) genes are transcribed almost exclusively in hepatocytes. The basis for this liver-restricted expression is not completely understood. We hypothesized that the responsible cis-acting elements are conserve...
