About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_048
Enhancer symbol: LCT Enhancer
Species: Human
Position : chr2:136531405-136531505
Biosample name: Caco-2
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: --
DO: --
Mesh: --
Distance from TSS: >2KB
Pubmed ID:  21327791
Enhancer experiment: Transfection,Luciferase Reporter Assay
Enhancer experiment description: The LCT enhancer activity has previously been characterized by transfection experiments using a 450 bp fragment. These fragments were cloned at a distance upstream (approximately 3 Kb) of the 1,085 bp LCT promoter in a luciferase reporter gene plasmid, transfected into the intestinal cell line Caco--2 and compared to the full--length 450 bp enhancer construct.

About Target gene

Target gene : LCT(LAC,LPH,LPH1)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: Transfection,Luciferase Reporter Assay
Target gene experiment description: Caco--2 cells were transfected with luciferase reporter gene constructs containing either the LCT promoter alone or the LCT promoter with deleted enhancer fragments using either the African LP --14010*C variant (--14010*C; --13910*C) or the European LP --13910*T variant (--14010*G; --13910*T),or the ancestral variants (--14010*G; --13910*C) (Fig. 2).

About TF

TF name : HNF1A(HNF-1A,HNF1,HNF4A,IDDM20,LFB1,MODY3,TCF-1,TCF1)POU2F1(OCT1,OTF1,oct-1B)
TF experiment: EMSA
TF experiment description: This indicates that the Oct-1 binding to the -14010*C variant is influenced by the downstream sequence that covers the HNF1a site. The small differences in the Oct-1 binding to the -14010 allelic variants in EMSAs we have found, might be expected to be more pronounced in adult intestine where the pattern of transcription.factor expression and activity allows higher expression than in the Caco-2 cell line.
