Within human insulin receptor gene there are three consensus binding sites for the CAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP). Two sites are located in the 5' flanking region and the other is in the first intron. We have studied the ability of these sequences to be regulated by C/EBP. A eukaryotic expression vector containing these sequences can be transactivated in a dose-dependent manner by a C/EBP expression vector when co-transfected into NIH-3T3 cells. In addition, double stranded oligonucleotides corresponding to two of these sequences can bind C/EBP in a gel retardation assay. These two oligonucleotides can complete with each other to bind C/EBP. These findings suggest that this transcription factor may play a role in the regulation of insulin receptor gene expression in vivo.

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.
