Cytokine-Mediated Induction of the Human Elafin Gene in Pulmonary Epithelial Cells Is Regulated by Nuclear Factor- κ B
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Elafin, a low molecular-weight proteinase inhibitor, is a member of the recently described trappin gene family. These proteins are thought to play important roles in the regulation of inflammation and are expressed in multiple epithelia. Elafin is found within the lung, and its expression can be induced by inflammatory mediators. The molecular mechanisms that mediate its induction are not understood. In this...
