Elements which regulate the rate of gene transcription are often gene specific and include
the enhancers and silencers. An essential component of the transcriptional apparatus is the …

The capacity of specialized tissues to function in an integrated fashion in the intact organism
depends upon the activity of the endocrine system. The effects of hormones secreted by …

Understanding of gene control mechanisms has greatly accelerated largely due to the
application of recombinant DNA techniques. Polypeptide hormone genes encode …

For many years hormone secretion was the sole indicator of hormone synthesis available
but the emergence of molecular biology and the provision of cDNA probes enabled …

The polypeptide hormones are a diverse group of small proteins, approximately 50 in
number, ranging in size from three to 300 amino acids, that regulate the processes of …

Publisher Summary The quantitative regulation of gene transcription during development
and by hormones appears to require the interaction of specific rate-limiting transcriptional …

All living organisms are genetically characterized by information stored in the genome as
sequences of nucleotides. The genetic information required for organic development and …
