Is Gonadotrope Expression of the Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Receptor Gene Mediated by Autocrine/Paracrine Stimulation of an Activin Response Element?
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Expression of the FSHbeta subunit and GnRH receptor (GnRHR) genes in gonadotropes is stimulated by activin. We sought to identify the cis-acting element(s) in the murine GnRHR gene promoter which confer activin responsiveness. We established that 600 bp of 5'flanking sequence from the murine GnRHR gene were sufficient to confer activin responsiveness in the gonadotrope-derived alphaT3-1 cell line. Since alphaT3-1...
