Abstract excerpt
A 5.2-kb mRNA band that contains estrogen receptor (ER) sequence and exhibits sex- and tissue-specific expression has been identified in rat pituitary via Northern analysis; this band is composed of at least two distinctive ER mRNA isoforms. This mRNA is expressed in high levels in female pituita...
