Abstract excerpt
Expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate-limiting enzyme of catecholamine (CA) synthesis, was studied in quail neural crest (NC) cultures to investigate the role of environmental factors in the development of the adrenergic phenotype. First, the activity of the quail TH gene promoter was...
