Abstract
Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) is a 42-aminoacid hormone which may have a role in the regulation of insulin secretion. The characterization of cDNA clones encoding this hormone indicates that it is derived by proteolytic processing of a 153-aminoacid precursor. The human gene coding for the human GIP precursor spans approximately 10 kilobase pairs and consists of six exons. Similar to genes encoding other members of the glucagon superfamily, each exon appears to encode a distinct region of the GIP precursor or its mRNA. The promoter region of the human GIP gene contains potential binding sites for a number of transcriptional factors including Sp1, AP-1, and AP-2. The human GIP gene has been assigned to chromosome 17q21.3→q22.Keywords
