Steroid Hormones and Endocrine Disruptors: Recent Advances in Receptor–Mediated Actions [PDF]
, 2017 It has been accepted that receptor-mediated action of steroid hormones depends on both the receptor and the hormonal level. The mechanism of transcription by steroid receptors is mediated by cofactors, which function as co-activators or co ...

Coexpression of rat P2X2 and P2X6 subunits in Xenopus oocytes. [PDF]
, 2000 Transcripts for P2X(2) and P2X(6) subunits are present in rat CNS and frequently colocalize in the same brainstem nuclei. When rat P2X(2) (rP2X(2)) and rat P2X(6) (rP2X(6)) receptors were expressed individually in Xenopus oocytes and studied under ...
