Abstract excerpt
Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) is an iron-binding protein that is highly expressed in osteoclasts. To characterize the regulation of TRAP gene expression, progressive 5' and 3' deletions of a 1.8 kb fragment containing the 5'-flanking sequence were fused to a luciferase reporter gene. Two nonoverlapping regions of this 1.8 kb fragment had promoter activity. The upstream promoter (P1) was located...
