Abstract excerpt
The human vitamin D receptor (hVDR) requires another nuclear protein(s), designated receptor auxiliary factor (RAF), for optimal binding to the vitamin D-responsive element (VDRE). To determine the region in hVDR required to form a heterodimer with RAF on the VDRE, mutant hVDR cDNAs were construc...
