Abstract
mRNAs for novel DNA-binding proteins (GATA-GT1 and GATA-GT2) reconizin g the (G/C)PuPu(G/C)NGAT(A/T)PuPy sequence and H+/K+-ATPase (proton pu mp) alpha subunit were detected in parietal cells of the rat gastric b ody mucosa by in situ hybridization. These results suggest that GATA-G T1 and GATA-GT2 together with H+/K+-ATPase are transcribed specificall y in gastric parietal cells and that the two DNA-binding proteins may have important roles in cell specific gene regulation. Furthermore, we could detect parietal cells in different states of gene expression.
