The human oxytocin gene promoter is regulated by estrogens.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 15 Apr 1990

Richard S, Zingg H H

Abstract excerpt

Gonadal steroids affect brain function primarily by altering the expression of specific genes, yet the specific mechanisms by which neuronal target genes undergo such regulation are unknown. Recent evidence suggests that the expression of the neuropeptide gene for oxytocin (OT) is modulated by es...
