Interactions of the Vitamin D Receptor with the Corepressor Hairless
4 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Atrichia with papular lesions (APL) and hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets have a similar congenital hair loss disorder caused by mutations in hairless (HR) and vitamin D receptor (VDR) genes, respectively. HR is a VDR corepressor, and it has been hypothesized that VDR.HR suppress gene expression during specific phases of the hair cycle. In this study, we examined the corepressor activity of HR mutants...
