Figure 1. Alignment of mouse and human MIP 5'-flanking sequence.

Mouse MIP sequence, -216/+47. Human MIP sequence, -214/+47 [9]. Conserved sequences are indicated with yellow boxes. GC and CT boxes known to bind purified Sp1 in the human MIP gene [10] and the ones present in the mouse MIP gene, are indicated with solid line boxes. The E box conserved in mouse and human is shown as a dotted line box.
