Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases by a splice variant of GHRH receptor.

abstract：:We used the Crm1 inhibitor leptomycin B (LMB) to examine a possible involvement of nuclear export in estrogen receptor alpha (ER) level and function in MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells. As revealed by immunofluorescence microscopy and western blotting with anti-ER antibodies, LMB produced an accumulation of ER in cell nuc...
