The rat osteocalcin gene encodes a 6-kD osteoblast-specific protein that is expressed postproliferatively. The developmental and steroid hormone responsive expression of the osteocalcin gene is transcriptiondlly regulated by a promoter with multiple basal and enhancer elements that exhibit activity

Transcription of the alpha2(I) collagen gene (COL1A2) in fibroblasts is potently induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). Smad family proteins function as intracellular signal transducers for TGF-beta that convey information from the cell membrane to the nucleus. In the present study,
Previous studies suggest that there may be species differences in the utilization of cis-elements of the type I collagen genes. The present study was designed to examine this possibility by focusing on two regions of the pro␣1(I) collagen promoter. One is the GC-rich A1 region (Ϫ194/168) that modula
