Description
This is the galactose-1-fosfato uridililtransferase promoter.
Notes
The GAL7 promoter is induced by galactose and repressed by glucose. The 3' primer used to amplify the GAL7 promoter region encopassed part of the first exon, therefore this part was excluded from the promoter presented here, diminishing the size of this promoter from 582 to 471 bp. Some SNPs were also detected in relation to the sequence presented in the original article, therefore the genomic sequence (AE017353) was used here.
