Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor Egr-1, stimulates the activity of a number of genes and inhibits other genes, by binding to the sequence GCGGGGGCG in 5' enhancer regions. However, the functions of Egr-1 are obscure in spite of its rather ubiquitous expression. Egr-1 may play a role in proliferation in mitogen-stimulated cells but its expression is also correlated with the differentiated state in teratocarcinoma cells....
