Type X collagen is a short chain collagen
specifically expressed by hypertrophic chondrocytes
during endochondral ossification. We report here the
functional analysis of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) collagen
Xa1 gene (colXa1) promoter with the identification
of a region responsive to two isoforms of the runt domain
transcription factor runx2.
