PACAP-38 positively regulates glycoprotein hormone alpha-gene expression in placental cells
Desai et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1994
(Adenoma...) :
In addition to eliciting hormone release appropriate to the tumor type, PACAP38 also stimulated glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit ( alpha SU ) release from one somatotrope tumor ( 229 +/- 35 % of control, P < 0.01 ) and one corticotrope tumor ( 149 +/- 4 % of control ; P < 0.01 )
