Growth hormone gene regulation: a paradigm for cell-type-specific gene activation
Trends Genet.
1990 Mar.
Abstract
The growth hormone (GH) gene is specifically expressed within specialized cells of the anterior pituitary. The central role in GH gene activation is played by GHF-1, a homeodomain protein that is itself specifically expressed in the anterior pituitary.
