Construction and functional analysis of luciferase reporter plasmid containing connexin43 gene promoter

Connexin 43 (Cx43), the principal gap junction protein in vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) resulting in modulation of gap junction. Myocardin is thought to have a key role in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell (VSMC) development by acting on CArG-dependent genes. In this study, a human Cx43 promoter luc...
