CBFA1: A molecular switch in osteoblast biology
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
During the past 4 years, our molecular understanding of osteoblast biology has made rapid progress due to the characterization of the function of one molecule, Cbfa1. This member of the runt/Cbfa family of transcription factors was first identified as the nuclear protein binding to an osteoblast-specific cis-acting element activating the expression of Osteocalcin, the most osteoblast-specific gene. Cbfa1 was then...
