Characterization of Mouse Cathepsin K Gene, the Gene Promoter, and the Gene Expression
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Cathepsin K, a lysosomal cysteine protease, is abundantly and selectively expressed in osteoclasts and has a specialized role in osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. In contrast to function studies, transcription regulation of cathepsin K remains largely unknown. In this study, the gene encoding mouse cathepsin K and the promoter have been isolated and completely sequenced. In addition, the temporal and spatial...
