title: Isolation of a genomic DNA fragment having negative vitamin D response element.
abstract: The vitamin D receptor (VDR) binds to the vitamin D response element (VDRE) in the promoter region of target genes and acts as a ligand-dependent transcriptional regulator. In order to identify novel VDREs and new genes that are regulated by the active form of vitamin D [1,25-(OH)2D3], rat genomic DNA fragments bound by VDR were isolated. One of these fragments, designated as VBF5 was transcribed and the transcript was down-regulated by 1,25-(OH)2D3. These data strongly indicate that VBF5 may contain a VDRE regulating negatively an unidentified gene expression.
