Heterodimerization of Mineralocorticoid and Glucocorticoid Receptors at a Novel Negative Response Element of the 5-HT1A Receptor Gene
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Negative regulation of neuronal serotonin (5-HT1A) receptor levels by glucocorticoids in vivo may contribute to depression. Both types I (mineralocorticoid) and II (glucocorticoid) receptors (MR and GR, respectively) participate in corticosteroid-induced transcriptional repression of the 5-HT1A gene; however, the precise mechanism is unclear. A direct repeat 6-base pair glucocorticoid response element (GRE)...
