Abstract excerpt
The serpin plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) type 2 is expressed in differentiated epidermal keratinocytes. To explore its role in this tissue, we studied the impact of PAI-2 overexpression on epidermal differentiation and skin carcinogenesis. A mouse PAI-2-encoding transgene was targeted to basal epidermis and hair follicles under the control of the bovine keratin type 5 gene promoter. Two mouse lines were...
