*WAP, whey acidic protein promoter, commonly restricted to lactating mammary gland luminal cells. C3(1), 5' flanking region of the C3(1) component of the rat prostate steroid binding protein, expressed in mammary ductal cells. MMTV, mouse mammary tumor virus promoter, often expressed in virgin mammary gland epithelium, induced with lactation; often expressed at ectopic sites (for example, lymphoid cells, salivary gland, others).
