Abstract excerpt
Molecular mechanisms for the developmental stage and tissue-specific regulation of the erythropoietin (EPO) gene are poorly understood. Recent findings indicate a role of the Wilms tumor suppressor, Wt1, in the formation of the hematopoietic system. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that Wt1 is a transcriptional regulator of the EPO gene. Binding of the transcriptionally competent Wt1(-KTS) isoform to the minimal...
