... Previous work in our lab showed that the LCE2B gene (one of 18 similar LCE genes) is upregulated by 1,25D. This may help repair skin after psoriasis injury. Two candidate vitamin D response element (VDRE) sequences, designated LCE2.e1 and LCE2.e3, located near the LCE2B gene were previously shown to ...
