Abstract excerpt
Kidney-specific cadherin (Ksp-cadherin) is a tissue-specific member of the cadherin family that is expressed exclusively in the kidney and developing genitourinary tract. Recent studies have shown that the proximal 250 bp of the Ksp-cadherin gene promoter are sufficient to direct tissue-specific gene expression in vivo and in vitro. The proximal 120 bp of the promoter are evolutionarily conserved between mouse...
