Elucidating the Role of the Maternal Embryonic Leucine Zipper Kinase in Adrenocortical Carcinoma.

abstract：:Nuclear entry of proteins the size of the glucocorticoid and thyroid hormone receptors appears to be mediated by an interaction of nuclear localization signals (NLSs) within the proteins and specific NLS-binding proteins. NLSs have been identified in the hinge region of both receptors. We have identified the cellular ...
