Activation and induction of Nur77/Nurr1 in corticotrophs by CRH/cAMP: Involvement of calcium, protein kinase a, and MAPK pathways
Nur factors are critical for proopiomelanocortin (POMC) induction by CRH in corticotrophs, but the pathways linking CRH to Nur are unknown. In this study we show that in AtT-20 corticotrophs CRH and cAMP induce Nur77 and Nurr1 expression and transcription at the NurRE site by protein kinase A (PKA)...
