Pit-1 gene expression in the human pituitary and pituitary adenomas.
1 Jul 1994
Abstract excerpt
The cellular basis for pituitary neoplasia is poorly understood. The POU domain protein Pit-1 is a pituitary-specific transcription factor involved in the generation, differentiation, and proliferation of three pituitary cell types: lactotrophs, somatotrophs, and thyrotrophs. In this study, we analyzed the expression of Pit-1 gene in a series of 15 different human pituitary tumors and compared it with that...
