Abstract excerpt
The POU-homeodomain transcription factor Pit-1 governs the pituitary cell-specific expression of Pit-1, GH, prolactin (PRL), and TSHbeta genes. Alternative splicing generates Pit-1beta, which contains a 26-amino acid beta-domain inserted at amino acid 48, in the middle of the Pit-1 transcription activation domain (TAD). Pit-1beta represses GH, PRL, and TSHbeta promoters in a pituitary-specific manner, because...
