Abstract excerpt
Exposure to ionizing radiation leads to induction of the immediate-early gene, early growth response-1 (Egr-1). Previous studies have suggested distinct cell type- and inducer-specific roles for EGR-1 protein in cellular growth inhibition. The present study was undertaken to determine the functio...
