    Endocrinology 143:4310-9. 2002
    ..This may be due to the maintenance by GH/IGF-I of a proliferative, rather than a differentiative, phenotype...

    Michael C Barber
    Hannah Research Institute, Ayr, KA6 5HL, Scotland, United Kingdom
    Biochim Biophys Acta 1733:1-28. 2005
    ..This review focuses on the structure of ACC genes and the putative individual roles of their gene products in fatty acid metabolism, taking an evolutionary viewpoint provided by data in genome databases...

    David J Flint
    Hannah Research Institute, Ayr KA6 5HL, UK
    Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 288:E1179-87. 2005
    ..Obese animals also exhibited marked abnormalities in alveolar development of the mammary gland, which may partially explain the delay in differentiation evident during lactogenesis...
  5. ncbi Induction of transcripts derived from promoter III of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase-alpha gene in mammary gland is associated with recruitment of SREBP-1 to a region of the proximal promoter defined by a DNase I hypersensitive site
    Michael C Barber
    Hannah Research Institute, Ayr KA6 5HL, Scotland, UK
    Biochem J 375:489-501. 2003
    ..SREBP-1 motifs are also present in the proximal region of PII, which is also induced in lactation. This indicates that SREBP-1 is a major developmental regulator of the programme of lipid synthesis de novo in the lactating mammary gland...
  6. ncbi Asymmetric expression of transcripts derived from the shared promoter between the divergently oriented ACACA and TADA2L genes
    Maureen T Travers
    Hannah Research Institute, Ayr KA6 5HL, UK
    Genomics 85:71-84. 2005
    ..Thus, regulation of clearance of Pol II from the promoter and the rate of elongation may therefore be determinants of the asymmetric expression of these transcripts...

    Elizabeth Tonner
    Hannah Research Institute, Ayr KA6 5HL, England, UK
    Development 129:4547-57. 2002
    ..It clearly demonstrates that IGF-I is an important developmental/survival factor for the mammary gland and, furthermore, this cell death programme may be utilised in a wide variety of tissues...
