Constitutively active FOXO1 diminishes activin induction of Fshb transcription in immortalized gonadotropes. [PDF]
In the present study, we investigate whether the FOXO1 transcription factor modulates activin signaling in pituitary gonadotropes. Our studies show that overexpression of constitutively active FOXO1 decreases activin induction of murine Fshb gene ...
