Abstract excerpt
The expression of manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), an important component of the cellular defense system against oxidative stress, is induced in response to a variety of stimuli, including cytokines and phorbol esters, in endothelial cells. To define the molecular mechanisms regulating the expression of Mn-SOD, we have characterized the promoter of the human Mn-SOD gene. In calf pulmonary artery...
