Liver-specific regulatory nucleic acid sequences

Abstract

The present invention relates to regulatory nucleic acid sequences, in particular liver-specific cis-regulatory elements, cis-regulatory modules, promoters and other such nucleic acid sequences, that are capable of enhancing liver-specific expression of genes. The invention also relates to expression constructs, vectors and cells comprising such liver-specific regulatory nucleic acid sequences, and to methods of their use. The liver-specific regulatory nucleic acid sequences are of particular utility for gene therapy applications, but also find utility in other areas such as bioprocessing and biotechnology.
