to study cell-specific processing of prepro-avp-np , a fusion gene consisting of the heavy metal-inducible promoter of the mouse metallothionein i gene and the rat prepro-avp-np gene was introduced by cellular transfection into several defined cell phenotypes : a fibroblast line ( bhk ) , a pituitary growth hormone and prolactin-producing cell line ( gh4 ) , a pituitary cell line that produces several amidated peptides ( att-20 ) , and an insulin-producing pancreatic islet line ( rin- 1046-38 ) .
