Abstract excerpt
Response gene to complement 32 (RGC-32) is activated by transforming growth factor- β (TGF-β) and plays an important role in smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation from neural crest Monc-1 cells. The molecular mechanism governing TGF-β activation of RGC-32, however, remains to be determined. The present studies indicate that TGF-β regulates RGC-32 gene transcription. Sequence analysis revealed a Smad binding...
