A conserved distal segment of the mouse CSF-1 receptor promoter is required for maximal expression of a reporter gene in macrophages and osteoclasts of transgenic mice
1 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
Csf1r mRNA in adult mice is expressed in cells of the macrophage lineage, and during development, it is also expressed from a separate promoter in placental trophoblast cells. This mouse trophoblast promoter sequence is conserved across species, but human trophoblasts actually initiate transcription from a separate promoter 20 kb upstream, which is not conserved in rodents. A 7.2-kb fragment of the mouse Csf1r...
