Two Distinct Osteoblast-Specific <i>cis</i>-Acting Elements Control Expression of a Mouse Osteocalcin Gene
1 Apr 1995
Abstract excerpt
Osteoblasts are cells of mesodermal origin that play a pivotal role during bone growth and mineralization. The mechanisms governing osteoblast-specific gene expression are still unknown. To understand these mechanisms, we analyzed the cis-acting elements of mouse osteocalcin gene 2 (mOG2), the best-characterized osteoblast-specific gene, by DNA transfection experiments in osteoblastic and nonosteoblastic cell...
