CCAAT-Enhancer-binding Proteins (C/EBP) Regulate the Tissue Specific Activity of the CD11c Integrin Gene Promoter Through Functional Interactions with Sp1 Proteins
1 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
The CD11c/CD18 integrin binds lipopolysaccharide, fibrinogen, and heparin, and mediates leukocyte adhesion, spreading, and migration. CD11c/CD18 is primarily found on myeloid cells and its expression is regulated during myeloid differentiation by transcriptional mechanisms acting on the CD11c gene promoter. We now describe that CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBP) contribute to the basal, tissue-specific and...
