According to a study from the United States, "IGF-I is abundantly expressed in the liver under the stimulation of GH. We showed previously that expression of hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-3 gamma, a liver-enriched transcription factor, was strongly stimulated by GH in bovine liver."

"In this study, we determined whether GH-increased HNF-3 gamma might contribute to GH stimulation of IGF-I gene expression in bovine liver and the underlying mechanism. A sequence analysis of the bovine IGF-I promoter revealed three putative HNF-3 binding sites, which all appear to be conserved in mammals. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that GH injection increased binding of...
