Prolactin Induction of Insulin Gene Transcription: Roles of Glucose and Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5*
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
GH and PRL stimulate insulin production in pancreatic beta-cells through induction of insulin gene transcription. The transcriptional effects of GH are mediated through the binding of signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 (STAT5) to a consensus recognition sequence (TTCnnnGAA) in the rat insulin-1 promoter. In this study we demonstrate that PRL also induces the binding of STAT5 proteins to the rat...
