The AP-1 binding site, also known as the AP-1 promoter site, is a DNA nucleotide sequence to which AP-1 (Activator Protein-1) is able to bind. The AP-1 binding site, in humans, has a nucleotide sequence of TGAGTCA.
Famous quotes containing the words binding and/or site:
“With a binding like you’ve got, people are gonna want to know what’s in the book.”
—Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
“It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
