Promoter Transgenics Reveal Multiple Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone-I-Expressing Cell Populations of Different Embryological Origin in Mouse Brain
15 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone-I (GnRH-I) is thought to be expressed by a single, highly spatially restricted group of neurons, which originate in the olfactory placode and migrate through the nose into the medial septum and hypothalamus from where they control fertility. Transgenic mice bearing a 13.5 kb GnRH-I-lacZ reporter construct were derived and found to express high levels of beta-galactosidase mRNA and...
