Abstract excerpt
Alpha1-adrenergic receptor stimulation induces cardiac myocytes to hypertrophy and reactivates many fetal genes, including beta-myosin heavy chain (betaMyHC) and skeletal alpha-actin (SKA), by signaling through myocyte-specific CAT (M-CAT) cis elements, binding sites of the transcriptional enhancer factor-1 (TEF-1) family of transcription factors. To examine functional differences between TEF-1 and related to...
