“…A complex regulatory region, with two promoters regulates RARb gene expression. Only one promoter, RARb2, containing several RA-response elements, including a canonical and an auxiliary RA response element, bRARE (de The ' et al, 1990;Valcarel et al, 1994) is active in human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC). The transcription of the RARb2 promoter is mediated by multiple RARs including, RARa and RARb itself (Chiba et al, 1997) able to recruit coactivator and corepressor protein complexes with HAT/HDAC activities, respectively (Chambon, 1996).…”
