Abstract excerpt
HES1 (hairy and enhancer of split) is a transcription factor that regulates osteoblastogenesis in vitro. The skeletal effects of HES1 misexpression were studied. Transgenic mice where a 3.6-kilobase fragment of the collagen type 1 α1 promoter directs HES1 overexpression were created. Transgenics were osteopenic due to decreased osteoblast function in female and increased bone resorption in male mice. HES1...
