Abstract As a neuropeptide, both secretin and secretin receptor are expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). It has been revealed that the activities of secretin on hypothalamic cells of rodents are important for osmoregulation and food intake. In the present study, embryonic mouse hypothalamic cell line N42 was used to study the promoter activity of mouse secretin receptor (mSR). By 5′ deletion analysis, a promoter element was identified within ?282 to ?443, relative to the ATG codon, and it contains a GC-box (-297 to -286), a ras responsive element (RRE) (-289 to -276) and an E-box (-416 to -411). Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and supershift analyses showed that Sp1 interacted with the GC-box, another zinc finger As a neuropeptide, both secretin and secretin receptor are expressed in the central nervous system (CNS).
