A Composite Element that Binds Basic Helix Loop Helix and Basic Leucine Zipper Transcription Factors Is Important for Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Regulation of the Follicle-Stimulating Hormone β Gene

Abstract excerpt

Although FSH plays an essential role in controlling gametogenesis, the biology of FSHbeta transcription remains poorly understood, but is known to involve the complex interplay of multiple endocrine factors including GnRH. We have identified a GnRH-responsive element within the rat FSHbeta promoter containing an E-box and partial cAMP response element site that are bound by the basic helix loop helix...
