Abstract excerpt
Expression of the FSH receptor (Fshr) is restricted to testicular Sertoli cells and ovarian granulosa cells, thereby limiting the direct targets of FSH action to these somatic cells of the gonads. Earlier studies indicate that transcription of Fshr in the gonads requires elements outside the gene's immediate 5' flanking sequence. To help uncover candidate regulatory sequences, comparative genomics and...
