“…Egr4 (or NGFI-C), which displays a neural-specific pattern of expression, is rapidly upregulated by nerve growth factor and neuronal activity (Crosby et al, 1991(Crosby et al, , 1992Honkaniemi and Sharp, 1999; for review, see Beckmann and Wilce, 1997). Recently, we have demonstrated that Egr4 contributes directly to the transcriptional upregulation of KCC2 through the Egr4 binding site present in the proximal promoter of the KCC2b isoform (Uvarov et al, 2006).…”
