Abstract excerpt
The hypothalamic hormone CRH is also expressed in the placentas of humans and higher primates and may play an important role in the regulation of labor. In choriocarcinoma cell lines, activation of cAMP-dependent pathways increases human (h)CRH reporter gene expression. A cAMP-responsive region distinct from the cAMP response element at -220 bp, has been identified between -200 and -99 bp, and a candidate...
