Cloning and Functional Analysis of the Promoter for KDR/flk-1, a Receptor for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
1 Sept 1995
Abstract excerpt
KDR/flk-1 is one of two receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor, a potent angiogenic peptide. KDR/flk-1 is an early marker for endothelial cell progenitors, and its expression is restricted to endothelial cells in vivo. To investigate the molecular mechanisms regulating expression of KDR/flk-1, we cloned and characterized the promoter of the human KDR/flk-1 gene. The transcription start site was...
