A cAMP Response Element and an Ets Motif Are Involved in the Transcriptional Regulation of flt-1 Tyrosine Kinase (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 1) Gene
1 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
The flt-1 gene encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase, Flt-1, a receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor. The expression of flt-1 gene is restricted to endothelial cells in vivo. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying endothelial-specific expression of this gene, we studied the functional significance of transcriptional motifs in the 200-base pair region of the human flt-1 gene promoter, which...
