Effects of Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide and Forskolin on mRNA Expression of Prolactin and Prolactin Regulatory Element-Binding Protein in the Anterior Pituitary Gland of Chicken Embryo and Laying Hens
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) treatment induced mRNA expression of Prolactin (PRL) in the chicken anterior pituitary gland. VIP responsive element (VRE) of the PRL promoter was identified in the various bird species. However, transcription factor, which binds to VRE, has not yet been identif...
