Probing Keratinocyte and Differentiation Specificity of the Human K5 Promoter In Vitro and in Transgenic Mice

    June 1993 in “ Molecular and Cellular Biology ”
    C Byrne, Elaine Fuchs
    Studysummary This study found that as few as 90 base pairs of the K5 promoter directed keratinocyte-preferred expression in stratified epithelia, especially in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, showing cell type specificity.
