GATA-binding proteins are transcription factors that regulate the stage- and tissue-specific expression of globin genes in cells of the erythroid lineage. Recently, a cardiac GATA-binding protein was found to be the earliest gene expressed during …
While hormonal stimuli and mechanical stretch can induced cardiac-specific gene expression and in some cases cellular hypertrophy, the relationship between myocyte contraction frequency, gene expression, and myocyte growth has not been well …
To study the mechanisms which mediate the transcriptional activation of cardiac genes during alpha adrenergic stimulation, the present study examined the regulated expression of three cardiac genes, a ventricular embryonic gene (atrial natriuretic …
