Abstract excerpt
Stimulation of GnRH receptors enhances expression of activating transcription factor (ATF) 3 in a pituitary gonadotroph cell line. The signaling pathway requires elevated cytosolic Ca2+ levels and activation of ERK and c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase. The signaling cascade was blocked by overexpression of either MAPK phosphatase (MKP)-1 or MAPK phosphatase-5 that dephosphorylate nuclear ERK and c-Jun N-terminal...
