Chondrocyte-specific Enhancer Elements in the Col11a2 Gene Resemble the Col2a1 Tissue-specific Enhancer
1 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
Type XI collagen and type II collagen are coexpressed in all cartilage, and both are essential for normal cartilage differentiation and skeletal morphogenesis. This laboratory has recently identified a 48-base pair (bp) enhancer element in the type II collagen gene Col2a1 that contains several HMG-type protein-binding sites and that can direct chondrocyte-specific expression in transient transfection and in...
