Abstract excerpt
Pit-1 is a POU-homeodomain transcription factor that dictates the ontogeny of pituitary somatotrophs, lactotrophs, and thyrotrophs through regulation of their respective protein hormone genes: GH, prolactin (PRL), and TSHbeta. Although Pit-1 threonine 220 (T220) and serine 115 are protein kinase phospho-acceptor sites, the transcriptional role of Pit-1 phosphorylation remains unclear. In the rat PRL promoter...
