Molecular structure, chromosome assignment, and promoter organization of the human matrix Gla protein gene.
1 Sept 1990
Abstract excerpt
Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is an 84-residue vitamin K-dependent protein initially isolated from bovine bone. MGP is also expressed at high levels in heart, kidney, and lung and is up-regulated by vitamin D in bone cells. To characterize the genomic sequences responsible for the regulated expression of this gene, we screened a human genomic library using a MGP cDNA probe and obtained two clones containing the MGP...
