Skeletal Malformations Caused by Overexpression of Cbfa1 or Its Dominant Negative Form in Chondrocytes
2 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
During skeletogenesis, cartilage develops to either permanent cartilage that persists through life or transient cartilage that is eventually replaced by bone. However, the mechanism by which cartilage phenotype is specified remains unclarified. Core binding factor alpha1 (Cbfa1) is an essential transcription factor for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation and has the ability to stimulate chondrocyte...
