A Binding Site for Steroidogenic Factor-1 is Part of a Complex Enhancer that Mediates Expression of the Murine Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor Gene1
1 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
Expression of the GnRH receptor (GnRH-R) gene in the anterior pituitary gland, as with the genes encoding the gonadotropin subunits, is restricted to gonadotrophs. Thus, it is conceivable that a common mechanism is involved in activating cell-specific expression of these genes. In fact, expression of the alpha- and LHbeta-subunit genes appears to require binding of the nuclear orphan receptor, steroidogenic...
