Abstract excerpt
Involucrin is a marker of human keratinocyte differentiation. Previous studies show that the human involucrin gene promoter has two distinct regulatory regions - the proximal regulatory region (PRR) and the distal regulatory region (DRR). To study the role of these regions in vivo, we have constructed human involucrin promoter transgenic mice and monitored the impact of specific promoter mutations on involucrin...
