GLYCERYLALDEHYDE-3-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE PROMOTER INDUCING CELL DEATH

摘要

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) promoter DNA which induces cell death, and a screening method for an apoptosis-suppressing agent using it. According to this invention, an apoptosis-suppressing agent can be screened by measuring the promoter activity of the GAPDH gene which discovers specifically the GAPDH protein which guides cell death in cell death process using the host cell in which the transformation was carried out by the vector incorporating the GAPDH promoter DNA.
