The Human Growth Hormone Gene Cluster Locus Control Region Supports Position-independent Pituitary- and Placenta-specific Expression in the Transgenic Mouse
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The human growth hormone (hGH) cluster contains five genes. The hGH-N gene is predominantly expressed in pituitary somatotropes, whereas the remaining four genes, the chorionic somatomammotropin genes (hCS-L, hCS-A, and hCS-B) and hGH-V, are expressed selectively in the placenta. In contrast, the mouse genome contains a single pituitary-specific GH gene and lacks any GH-related CS genes. Activation of the hGH...
