Prolactin Receptor Signaling Mediates the Osmotic Response of Embryonic Zebrafish Lactotrophs
9 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
The pituitary hormone prolactin (PRL) regulates salt and water homeostasis by altering ion retention and water uptake through peripheral osmoregulatory organs. To understand the role of osmotic homeostasis in the development of PRL-secreting lactotrophs, we generated germline transgenic zebrafish coexpressing red fluorescent protein directed by Prolactin regulatory elements (PRL-RFP) and green fluorescent protein...
