Abstract excerpt
The retinoid X receptor beta gene (Rxrb) is located just upstream of the alpha2(XI) collagen chain gene (Col11a2) in a head-to-tail manner. However, the domain structures of these genes are unknown. Col11a2 is specifically expressed in cartilage. In the present study, we found Rxrb expression in various tissues with low expression in the cartilage. Col11a2 1st intron enhancer directed cartilage specific...
