The natural polyamines and their analogues have been implicated in transcriptional regulation of specific genes. Human polyamine-modulated factor-1 (hPMF-1) was the first polyamine-responsive transcription factor identified. Here the mouse homologue of the hPMF-1 gene is described. Interestingly, the mouse gene (mPMF-1) codes for two alternatively spliced mRNAs.
