Abstract
The role of the POU domain transcription factor Pit-1 (GHF-1) in differentiation and proliferation of the somatotrophic lineage is well known. In our study of differential splicing of the PIT1 gene we found a new protein, Pit-2, in which 26 amino acids are inserted into the transactivation domain. Pit-2 can activate the growth hormone promoter but has lost the ability to activate the prolactin promoter or PIT1 promoter itself.
