Abstract:

In order to further determine the C/EBPα binding site of L-FABP and analyze its role in the regulation of L-FABP transcription,the C/EBPα binding site in L-FABP promoter was effectively mutated using site-directed mutagenesis in the current study.The results showed that the expression of L-FABP was significantly repressed by C/EBPα,but the L-FABP promoter activity was significantly promoted after the mutation of C/EBPα binding site.In a conclusion,the expression of L-FABP was significantly repressed by C/EBPα,and C/EBPα probably involved in the regulation of L-FABP expression through this binding site.These results will provide a foundation for further research on the regulatory mechanism and function of chicken C/EBPα on L-FABP gene.
