Cloning of Chicken Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) and Characterization of its Expression in Pituitary and Extrapituitary Tissues
1 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Substantial evidence suggests that glucocorticoids play critical roles in the differentiation of somatotroph and lactotroph in embryonic pituitaries of birds. However, the basic information on the expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in avian species is limited. In this study, the full-length cDNA for chicken GR was cloned from the chicken kidney. It encodes 772 amino acids and shares high homology with...
