Abstract excerpt
Epilysin (MMP-28) is a recently cloned member of the matrix metalloproteinase family (Lohi et al., J. Biol. Chem. 276 (2001) 10134). It is expressed at highest levels in the skin by basal and suprabasal keratinocytes, and in testis by developing germ cells. To characterize the epilysin promoter, we isolated a 3.0 kb fragment of human genomic DNA containing 5'-flanking sequence of the epilysin gene, and a...
