The forkhead transcription factor, Foxd1, is necessary for pituitary luteinizing hormone expression in mice.

The pituitary gland regulates numerous physiological functions including growth, reproduction, temperature and metabolic homeostasis, lactation, and response to stress. Pituitary organogenesis is dependent on signaling factors that are produced in and around the developing pituitary. The studies des...

Pituitary organogenesis is dependent on signaling factors that are produced in and around the developing pituitary.
