Since the -1166 to +30 region of HCCR-1 gene contains many other putative binding motifs for other transcription factors such as E2F, GATA-1, and estrogen (estrogen-related) [21], further investigation is needed to identify other potential mediators regulating the HCCR-1 expressions in the pancreatic cancers. Here, GATA1 is linked to familial pancreatic carcinoma.
