Constitutive and Cytokine-Induced Expression of the ETS Transcription Factor ESE-3 in the Lung
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Family studies of asthma suggest that the genes ESE-2 and ESE-3 contain polymorphisms that contribute to disease susceptibility. Each gene codes for an ETS transcription factor that is characterized by epithelium-restricted constitutive expression and may function as a context-dependent activator or repressor of transcription; however, nothing is known about the role of these genes in lung homeostasis or the...
