GC Factor 2 Represses Platelet-Derived Growth Factor A-Chain Gene Transcription and Is Itself Induced by Arterial Injury
11 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a mitogen and chemoattractant for a wide variety of cell types. The genes encoding PDGF A chain (PDGF-A) and PDGF B chain (PDGF-B) reside on separate chromosomes and are independently regulated at the level of transcription. Regulatory events underlying inducible PDGF-A expression have been the focus of much investigation. However, mechanisms that inhibit transcription of...
