Abstract excerpt
Glial cells missing-2 (GCM2) is a transcription factor expressed in the parathyroid hormone (PTH)-secreting cells of the parathyroid gland and is essential for their development. Thus far, downstream targets of GCM2 have not been identified. Here, we show that both promoters (P1 and P2) of the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene, a differentiation marker for the parathyroid gland, are transactivated by wild-type...
