The Role of the Transcription Factor nFAT in the Regulation of Smooth Muscle Contractility
The goals of this dissertation were to explore the role of the Ca2+-sensitive transcription factor NFAT in the regulation of smooth muscle contractility. We have identified a conserved NFAT binding site that overlaps an intronic SRF-binding CArG element that has previously been demonstrated to be es...
