Abstract excerpt
Prophenin-2 (PF-2) is a cathelicidin, 97-amino-acid antimicrobial protein stored in neutrophil secondary granules. PF-2 is expressed specifically in porcine immature myeloid cells; however, little is known about its regulation. In this study, we characterized the 5' regulatory regions of the PF-2 gene to understand the molecular mechanisms regulating its expression. Using bioinformatic approaches, site-directed...
