Reinhart et al., Mol Endocrinol 1999
:
These data indicate that in addition to SF-1, C/EBP beta is involved in the transcriptional regulation of the StAR gene and may play an important role in developmental and hormone-responsive regulation of steroidogenesis
Christenson et al., J Biol Chem 1999
:
Expression of C/EBPalpha and -beta increased StAR promoter activity in COS-1 and HepG2 cells
Hsu et al., Am J Pathol 2008
(Endometriosis) :
Forced expression of either C/EBPalpha or C/EBPbeta alone was sufficient to up-regulate StAR promoter activity whereas PGE ( 2 ) was needed to induce StAR promoter activity in CREB overexpressed cells
