Abstract excerpt
The orphan receptor chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor I (COUP-TF I) fully prevented not only the activation of the oxytocin gene by retinoic acid and thyroid hormone but also completely repressed the estrogen-dependent stimulation in transfected P19 EC cells. DNase I footprinting showed that the COUP-TF I protein bound to the 5'-flanking region of the oxytocin gene at the site of the distal...
