Abstract

The 1.7 kb human insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-6 gene 5'-flanking region was sequenced and found to have promoter activity in human osteoblasts. The sequence contains four clustered transcription start sites and three retinoic acid response elements (RAREs) with widely spaced half-sites. Only the proximal DR15 RARE was functional. Retinoids increased IGFBP-6 promoter activity up to 3-fold.
