A common inducible form of the Cre-Lox system fuse
A common inducible form of the Cre-Lox system fuses the Cre protein to a mutant T2 form of the receptor for this molecule. Raloxifine and Tamoxifen selectively inhibit the action of this compound in some organs, while with another hormone it increases the expression of steroid hormone binding globulin from the liver. This hormone, which is secreted by granulosa cells, is produced from precursors by aromatase, and a rise in this hormone results in the LH surge that triggers ovulation. Responsible for controlling the proliferation of the endometrium, its precursors include cholesterol and testosterone. Along with progesterone, its decline causes menopause. For 10 points, name this female sex hormone.
