Transcriptional Activation. The liver performs essential functions in the body by uniquely
expressing hepatocyte-specific genes encoding plasma proteins, clotting factors and …

Development of the mouse lung initiates on day 9.5 postcoitum from the laryngotracheal
groove and involves mesenchymal-epithelial interactions, in particular, those between the …

Albumin, the most abundant plasma protein, is among the most studied of all proteins, being
important from clinical monitoring, physiological, and therapeutic perspectives. This unique …

Considering that the development of hepatic lesions related to iron overload diseases might
be a result of abnormally expressed hepatic genes, we searched for new genes up …

Transcription factors are master regulatory switches of differentiation, including the
development of specific hematopoietic lineages from stem cells. Here we show that mice …

NF‐IL6 is a nuclear factor that specifically binds to an IL1‐responsive element in the IL‐6
gene. In this study the gene encoding NF‐IL6 has been cloned by direct screening of a …

Terminal differentiation of cultured 3T3-L1 fibroblasts to the adipogenic phenotype is
potently stimulated by dexamethasone (DEX) and methylisobutylxanthine (MIX). Previous …

Abstract HNF-4 (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4) is a protein enriched in liver extracts that binds
to sites required for the transcription of the genes for transthyretin (TTR), the carrier protein in …

The transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) regulates a number of
myeloid cell-specific genes. To delineate the role of C/EBPα in human granulopoiesis, we …

The CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBP alpha) has been implicated in the
regulation of adipoblast differentiation. In this study we investigate the potential of C/EBP …
