Estrogen Receptor Regulation of Xenopus Laevis Vitellogenin Gene Expression
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe mechanism by which the Xenopus laevis estrogen receptor mediates the transcriptional response of the vitellogenin gene was investigated. The Xenopus estrogen receptor (XER) cDNA was cloned and sequenced. It could encode a protein of 66 Kd, which is approximately the same size as human and chicken estrogen receptors. Most of the amino acid homology among these three organisms is concentrated in two regions of the Xenopus ER protein.
