Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor Sox9 is capable of enhancing type II collagen gene expression and may play a crucial role in chondrogenesis. To determine whether Sox9 is an inducer of the chondrocyte phenotype, we investigated the role of Sox9 in transcription of another cartilage gene encoding the cartilage-derived retinoic acid-sensitive protein (CD-RAP). CD-RAP is specifically expressed during chondrogenesis. We show...
