ABSTRACT:
DNA sequences, derived from the 5' region of the human neuron-specific cellular adhesion molecule ICAM-4, which promote neuron-specific gene transcription are disclosed along with polynucleotides comprising the promoter DNA operatively linked to heterologous gene-encoding polynucleotides, expression vectors comprising the promoter DNA, and host cells transformed or transfected with DNA comprising the promoter sequences.
