PemHomeobox Gene Promoter Sequences that Direct Transcription in a Sertoli Cell-Specific, Stage-Specific, and Androgen-Dependent Manner in the Testisin Vivo
28 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Although many genes are expressed selectively in Sertoli cells, regulatory sequences sufficient to drive Sertoli cell-specific expression in the postnatal and adult testis in vivo have not been identified. In the present study, we identified promoter sequences from the Pem homeobox gene that direct Sertoli cell-specific expression in an androgen-dependent and stage-specific manner. Immunohistochemical and RNA...
