Abstract excerpt
We present evidence that the vitamin D response element in the human osteocalcin gene confers responsiveness to the vitamin A metabolite, retinoic acid. Retinoic acid receptor (RAR) expressed in E. coli binds to this sequence in vitro. Transfection of RAR expression vectors in cultured cells activates heterologous promoters containing this sequence in vivo. This response element contains a consensus AP-1 site...
