See my reply to Shah Mohd from Jan 17, 2025, copied below:

You can use the "Search Motif Tool" on the promoter entry viewer page, for instance go to:

https://epd.expasy.org/cgi-bin/epd/get_doc?db=hgEpdNew&format=genome&entry=EMC8_1

Then fill out the Search Motif Tool menu near the bottom of the page as follows:

Note the Selections "Transcription Factor Motifs" and "SP1". According to the image, this promoter contains several SP1 binding sites 500-1000 bp upstream of transcription initiations site.
