Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional activation and repression of the vascular smooth muscle (VSM) alpha-actin gene in myoblasts and fibroblasts is mediated, in part, by positive and negative elements contained within an approximately 30-bp polypurine-polypyrimidine tract. This region contains binding sites for an es...
