Roles of CCAAT/Enhancer-binding Proteins in Regulation of Liver Regenerative Growth
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
The expressions and activities of several CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBP) isoforms fluctuate in the regenerating liver. The physiological implications of these variations in C/EBP function remain poorly characterized in the setting of regeneration. However, lessons learned in various hepatocyte cell lines and by studying primary hepatocytes from transgenic C/EBPalpha-deficient mice suggest that the C/EBP...
