The orphan nuclear receptors, steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) and DAX-1, are involved in gonadotroph differentiation, and SF-1 has been shown to activate the LH-beta and glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit ( alpha GSU ) gene promoters

:
Steroidogenic factor-1 enhances basal and forskolin stimulated transcription of the human glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit gene in GH3 cells ... Basal and hormone stimulated transcription of the human glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit gene ( alphaGSU ) in gonadotrophs involves SF-1 and its cognate binding site, the gonadotroph-specific element ( GSE )
