Abstract excerpt
The promoter of human K14 keratin gene, specific for the basal layer of stratified epithelia, is regulated by nuclear receptors for retinoic acid and thyroid hormone. However, the DNA sequences responsible for this regulation have not yet been identified. To identify the retinoic acid-responsive site, we have devised a simple site-specific mutagenesis method and introduced mutations into the K14 keratin gene...
