The mouse RANKL gene locus is defined by a broad pattern of histone H4 acetylation and regulated through distinct distal enhancers
4 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
RANKL is a stromal cell-derived tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like factor that plays a primary role in osteoclast formation and function. Recent studies suggest that 1,25(OH)(2) D(3) induces Rankl expression via vitamin D receptor (VDR) interaction at several enhancers located up to 76 kb upstream of the gene's transcriptional start site (TSS). In the current studies, we explored these interactions further using...
