Transcriptome analyses of female somatotropes and lactotropes reveal novel regulators of cell identity in the pituitary
21 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
The differentiation of the hormone-producing cell lineages of the anterior pituitary represents an informative model of mammalian cell fate determination. The generation and maintenance of two of these lineages, the GH-producing somatotropes and prolactin (PRL)-producing lactotropes, are dependent on the pituitary-specific transcription factor POU1F1. Whereas POU1F1 is expressed in both cell types, and plays a...
