Glucocorticoid-Dependent Transcriptional Repression of the Osteocalcin Gene by Competitive Binding at the TATA Box
1 Aug 1997
Abstract excerpt
The human osteocalcin gene is transcriptionally repressed by glucocorticoids. A specific binding element for the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) overlapping the TATA box of the human osteocalcin promoter has previously been identified. In the present study, the function of this element has been further characterized by competitive gel mobility-shift assay and transfection experiments. The GR and TATA-binding protein...
