Functional Compensation by Egr4 in Egr1-Dependent Luteinizing Hormone Regulation and Leydig Cell Steroidogenesis
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
The Egr family of zinc finger transcription factors, whose members are encoded by Egr1 (NGFI-A), Egr2 (Krox20), Egr3, and Egr4 (NGFI-C) regulate critical genetic programs involved in cellular growth, differentiation, and function. Egr1 regulates luteinizing hormone beta subunit (LHbeta) gene expression in the pituitary gland. Due to decreased levels of LHbeta, female Egr1-deficient mice are anovulatory, have low...
