Interactions of Estrogen- and Thyroid Hormone Receptors on a Progesterone Receptor Estrogen Response Element (ERE) Sequence: a Comparison with the Vitellogenin A2 Consensus ERE
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
The identification of hormone response elements in the promoter regions of hormonally regulated genes has revealed a striking similarity between the half-site of the estrogen-response element (ERE) and a consensus sequence constituting the thyroid hormone-response element. Because of the potential for thyroid hormone (T3) to affect estrogen (E)- and progesterone-dependent female reproductive behavior via EREs, we...
