Involvement of NR5A1 and NR5A2 in the Regulation of Steroidogenesis by Clock Gene and BMPs by Human Granulosa Cells

We previously reported that the expression levels of Clock gene are linked to the expression levels of steroidogenetic enzymes in human granulosa cells (EJ 2019). However, the downstream molecules of the Clock gene actions in the regulation of ovarian steroidogenesis have yet to be elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the roles of the transcription factors, NR5A1 (also known as SF-1) and NR5A2 (LRH-1), which play key roles in the...
