5. Transcription of the human blood group ABO gene can be enhanced by a CBF/NF-Y which binds the minisatellite on the 5'-upstream sequence of the gene
Kominato et al., J Biol Chem 1997
:
Transcription of human ABO histo-blood group genes is dependent upon binding of transcription factor CBF/NF-Y to minisatellite sequence ... Thus, transcriptional regulation of the human ABO genes is dependent upon binding of CBF/NF-Y to the minisatellite
