Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Prothrombin is a key component in blood coagulation. Overexpression of prothrombin leads to an increased risk of venous thrombosis. Therefore, the study of the transcriptional regulation of the prothrombin gene may help to identify mechanisms of overexpression. OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to localize the regions within the prothrombin enhancer responsible for its activity, to identify the...
