Atrazine Binds to the Growth Hormone–Releasing Hormone Receptor and Affects Growth Hormone Gene Expression

Atrazine Binds to the Growth Hormone–Releasing Hormone Receptor and Affects Growth Hormone Gene Expression

BACKGROUND Atrazine (ATR), a commonly used herbicide in the United States, is widely distributed in water and soil because of its mobility through ecosystems and its persistence in the environment. ATR has been associated with defects in sexual development in animals, but studies on mammalian systems have failed to clearly identify a cellular target. OBJECTIVES Our goal in this study was to i...

تأثیر پلی مورفیسم های ژن های هورمون رشد growth hormone و گیرنده ژن هورمون رشد growth hormone receptor روی برخی صفات اقتصادی بز مرغز ایران

در این پژوهش به بررسی وجود پلی مورفیسم در ناحیه پروموتور و اگزون 10 ژن های gh و ghr و ارتباط آنها با صفات رشد در بزهای مرغز پرداخته شد. بدین منظور از سیاهرگ وداج تعداد 160 بز مرغز موجود در ایستگاه اصلاح نژاد استان کردستان خونگیری و dna نمونه ها با استفاده از کیت استخراج گردید. قطعه 391 جفت بازی از ژن gh و 361 جفت بازی از ژن ghr تکثیر شدند. از تفاوت چندشکلی فضایی تک رشته ها (sscp) و توالی یابی ب...

Structure and expression of the mouse growth hormone receptor/growth hormone binding protein gene.

The mouse growth hormone receptor/growth hormone-binding protein (GHR/BP) gene produces several distinct mRNA forms through alternative splicing, including mRNAs encoding the membrane-bound growth hormone receptor (GHR) and the soluble growth hormone-binding protein (GHBP). Transcripts are also heterogeneous in their 5' regions due to alternative selection of two major 5' untranslated region (5...

Comparison of Expression of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone and Its Receptor Splice Variant 1 in Different Stages of Endometriosis

The thyroid hormone receptor binds to multiple domains of the rat growth hormone 5'-flanking sequence.

Gel shift assays have been employed to examine the association of the thyroid hormone receptor with specific DNA sequences in the 5'-flanking DNA of the rat growth hormone (rGH) gene. This DNA is known to have structure(s) that mediate thyroid hormone effects on the rGH promoter. The receptors used were obtained from preparations purified 300-500-fold from rat liver nuclear extracts and contain...
