Activation of Luteinizing Hormone β Gene by Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone Requires the Synergy of Early Growth Response-1 and Steroidogenic Factor-1
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that early growth response (Egr) 1-deficient mice exhibit female infertility, reflecting a luteinizing hormone (LH) beta deficiency. Egr-1 activates the LHbeta gene in vitro through synergy with steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1), a protein required for gonadotrope function. To test if this synergy is essential for gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation of LHbeta, we examined the...
