Steroidogenic factor 1, an orphan nuclear receptor, regulates the expression of the rat aromatase gene in gonadal tissues.
1 Jun 1993
Abstract excerpt
In a concerted analysis of the genes encoding three mouse steroid hydroxylases, we identified and characterized a transcriptional regulatory protein, designated steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1), that contributes to the coordinate expression in adrenocortical cells. SF-1, an orphan member of the nuclear receptor family, binds to PyCAAGGPyCPu motifs upstream of the steroid hydroxylases to regulate their expression. In...
