Enhancers Located within Two Introns of the Vitamin D Receptor Gene Mediate Transcriptional Autoregulation by 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D<sub>3</sub>
24 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
The biological actions of 1,25-(OH)2D3 are mediated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a protein that binds to target genes and alters their expression. 1,25-(OH)2D3 is also capable of inducing transcription of the VDR gene itself. In the present study, we explored both the capacity of 1,25-(OH)2D3 to induce VDR gene expression in bone cells and the mechanism instrumental to this up-regulation. After establishing...
