Abstract excerpt
The hypothalamic hormone, TRH, stimulates PRL secretion and gene transcription. We have examined the possibility that the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) may play a role in mediating TRH effects on the PRL gene. TRH was found to stimulate sustained activation of MAPK in PRL-producing, GH3 cells, consistent with a possible role in transcriptional regulation. A kinase-defective, interfering MAPK kinase...
