Oct-1 Binds Promoter Elements Required for Transcription of the GnRH Gene
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
The GnRH gene is exclusively expressed in a discrete population of neurons in the hypothalamus. The promoter-proximal 173 bp of the rat GnRH gene are highly conserved through evolution and are bound by multiple nuclear proteins found in the neuronal cell line, GT1-7, a model for the GnRH-expressing hypothalamic neuron. To explore the protein-DNA interactions that occur within this promoter and the role of these...
