(Neuroblastoma) :
To define the precise role of cyclic AMP ( cAMP ) -dependent protein kinase (PKA) in transcriptional regulation of the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene, we performed transient cotransfection analyses of a reporter construct containing the upstream 2,400 bp sequence of the rat TH gene with expression plasmids encoding a heat-stable specific inhibitor of PKA ( PKI ), a mutant regulatory subunit of PKA, or the catalytic subunit of PKA
