Abstract

- Transcriptional regulation of the PTGIR, the I Prostanoid receptor (IP) gene.
- Basal regulation by Sp1, PU.1 & Oct-1 and by C/EPBδ via the “core promoter” & URR.
- Switch of C/EPBδ to PU.1 “URR binding” & enhanced “core binding” upregulate the IP.
- Estrogen increases IP expression via an estrogen receptor(ER)α-dependent mechanism.
- Low serum-cholesterol increases IP expression via an SREBP1-dependent mechanism.
- Functional interaction of the IP with PDZK1 and with IKEPP within the vasculature.
