Prostaglandin D2 induces nuclear import of the sex‐determining factor SOX9 via its cAMP‐PKA phosphorylation
5 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
During mammalian gonadal development, nuclear import/export of the transcription factor SOX9 is a critical step of the Sry-initiated testis-determining cascade. In this study, we identify a molecular mechanism contributing to the SOX9 nuclear translocation in NT2/D1 cells, which is mediated by the prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) signalling pathway via stimulation of its adenylcyclase-coupled DP1 receptor. We find that...
