Abstract excerpt
TGFbeta is an important regulator of epidermal keratinocyte function because it suppresses cell proliferation, while it induces synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins and their cells surface receptors. To examine whether TGFbeta affects synthesis of intracellular proteins as well, specifically the transcription of keratin genes, we transfected a series of DNA constructs that contain keratin gene promoters...
