Abstract excerpt
During hair growth, cortical cells emerging from the proliferative follicle bulb rapidly undergo a differentiation program and synthesise large amounts of hair keratin proteins. To identify some of the controls that specify expression of hair genes we have defined the minimal promoter of the wool keratin intermediate filament gene K2.10. The region of this gene spanning nucleotides -350 to +53 was sufficient to...
