A far-upstream (−70 kb) enhancer mediates Sox9 auto-regulation in somatic tissues during development and adult regeneration
28 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
SOX9 encodes a transcription factor that presides over the specification and differentiation of numerous progenitor and differentiated cell types, and although SOX9 haploinsufficiency and overexpression cause severe diseases in humans, including campomelic dysplasia, sex reversal and cancer, the mechanisms underlying SOX9 transcription remain largely unsolved. We identify here an evolutionarily conserved enhancer...
