Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of repressors in cell type and organ-specific activation of von Willebrand factor (VWF) promoter sequences -487 to 247 in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS: Activation patterns of wild-type and mutant VWF promoters (sequences -487 to 247) containing mutations in repressors nuclear factor-I (NFI)- and nuclear factor Y (NFY)-binding sites were analyzed in transgenic mice. Mutation of the...
