Localization of distal regulatory domains in the megakaryocyte-specific platelet basic protein/platelet factor 4 gene locus
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
The genes for the related human (h) chemokines, PBP (platelet basic protein) and PF4 (platelet factor 4), are within 5.3 kilobases (kb) of each other and form a megakaryocyte-specific gene locus. The hypothesis was considered that the PBP and PF4 genes share a common distal regulatory region(s) that leads to their high-level megakaryocyte-specific expression in vivo. This study examined PBP and PF4 expression in...
