The Affinity and Activity of the Multiple Hormone Response Element in the Proximal Promoter of the Human Oxytocin Gene
29 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
In vivo there appears to be a marked association between oestrogen levels and the expression of the oxytocin (OT) gene in most tissues. Transfection and DNA-protein binding experiments using high levels of either oestrogen receptor (ER)alpha or ERbeta imply a direct interaction of these transcription factors with the multiple hormone response element (HRE) at approximately -160 from the transcription start site...
