Abstract excerpt
Enhanced expression of valosin-containing protein (VCP) correlates with invasiveness and metastatic potential of cancer cells; therefore its transcriptional regulation could be a new target for cancer therapy. Here, the mechanism for transactivation of VCP promoter by E74-like factor 2 (ELF2), a transcription factor which enhances VCP transcription, was investigated. There was a highly conserved region among...
