Bmp2 Transcription in Osteoblast Progenitors Is Regulated by a Distant 3′ Enhancer Located 156.3 Kilobases from the Promoter
6 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (encoded by Bmp2) has been implicated as an important signaling ligand for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation and as a genetic risk factor for osteoporosis. To initially survey a large genomic region flanking the mouse Bmp2 gene for cis-regulatory function, two bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones that extend far upstream and downstream of the gene were engineered...
