FTZ-F1 is a member of the orphan nuclear receptors, which belongs to the steroid hormone receptor superfamily, and plays a role in the blastoderm and nervous system development in Drosophila. Recently, several FTZ-F1 family genes have been cloned in several species. SF-1/Ad4BPs have been identified as master regulators controlling steroidogenic P-450 genes in mammals and are considered to be the mammalian...
MBF2 was first isolated from the silkworm Bombyx mori as a positive cofactor that activates transcription through its interaction with TFIIA. To identify conserved domain(s) within the MBF2 molecule, we isolated cDNAs encoding MBF2 homologues from other silkworms Bombyx mandarina and Samia cynthia. Bacterially expressed and purified MBF2 of B. mandarina and S. cynthia activated transcription in vitro...
SF-1/Ad4BP was identified as a master regulator controlling steroidogenic P-450 genes and belongs to the steroid hormone receptor superfamily. It is expressed in the adrenal cortex, gonads, and pituitary gonadotroph. Targeted disruption of the mouse SF-1/Ad4BP gene showed that it plays a critical role in the development of the steroidogenic tissues and pituitary gonadotroph. We have recently cloned...
Liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) is a homolog of FTZ-F1, a transcription factor of the fruit fly, and belongs to the orphan nuclear receptor family. LRH-1 is expressed in organs derived from the endoderm, including intestine, liver and exocrine pancreas and plays a predominant role in development, bile-acid homeostasis, and reverse cholesterol transport. Recent research has revealed that mammalian...
