Abstract excerpt
The orphan nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) is an essential regulator of endocrine organogenesis, sexual differentiation, and steroidogenesis. SF-1 is a transcriptional regulator of cAMP responsive genes, but the exact mechanisms by which cAMP-dependent PKA modulates SF-1 dependent transcription leading to increased steroidogenic output have not been determined. In this report the effects of PKA...
