An essential role for the hematopoietic transcription factor Ikaros in hypothalamic–pituitary-mediated somatic growth
7 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Ikaros transcription factors play critical functions in the control of lymphohematopoiesis and immune regulation. Family members contain multiple zinc fingers that mediate DNA binding and homooligomerization or heterooligomerization. Ikaros is abundantly expressed in pituitary mammosomatotrophs, where it deacetylates histone 3 sites on the proximal growth hormone (GH) promoter to silence gene expression....
