  • Title: Hormonal control of vitellogenin synthesis in avian liver.
    Author: Gruber M, Bos ES, Ab G.
    Journal: Mol Cell Endocrinol; 1976; 5(1-2):41-50. PubMed ID: 955247.
    Abstract:
    Estradiol induces the synthesis of vitellogenin in the avian liver. We describe the precursor-product relationship between vitellogenin and the yolk proteins phosvitin and lipovitellin. The high rate of vitellogenin synthesis is a consequence of the accumulation of a stable messenger RNA. We suggest that estradiol acts at the level of the genome by opening a hitherto non-transcribed gene.
