Phosphorylation and DNA binding of the octamer binding transcription factor Oct-3.

abstract：:Transcription factor NF-kappaB has both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic properties depending on the cell type. Its role in the intestinal epithelial cell has not been well elucidated. Trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) is an anti-apoptotic peptide secreted by intestinal goblet cells. Here we show that TFF3 activated NF-kappaB p...
