Abstract excerpt
Alpha7 integrin levels increase dramatically as myoblasts differentiate to myotubes. A negative regulatory element with putative sites for deltaEF1 is present in the alpha7 proximal promoter region. To define the role of deltaEF1 in regulating alpha7 integrin expression, we overexpressed deltaEF1 in C2C12 myoblasts. This resulted in a major down-regulation of alpha7 protein expression. Promoter assays revealed...
