Action of transcription factors in the control of transferrin receptor expression in human brain endothelium.

Abstract excerpt

Brain endothelium has a distinctive phenotype, including high expression of transferrin receptor, p-glycoprotein, claudin-5 and occludin. Dermal endothelium expresses lower levels of the transferrin receptor and it is absent from lung endothelium. All three endothelia were screened for transcription factors that bind the transferrin receptor promoter and show different patterns of binding between the endothelia....
