The transcription coactivator CITED1 is an important mediator of transcriptional events regulated by estrogen or TGF-beta. We used in situ hybridization to delineate the distribution of CITED1 mRNA in the adult and developing murine brain and found robust CITED1 expression in ventral hypothalamus and midbrain raphe. The distribution of CITED1 in these regions overlapped the reported expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta. Less intense expression of CITED1 was also evident in medial preoptic area, subfornical organ, thalamus and cerebral cortex. CITED1 mRNA in the arcuate nucleus (an area of active transcriptional modulation by TGF-beta) was evident in postmigratory neurons as early as embryonic day 16. Expression of CITED1 in arcuate continued throughout postnatal development. CITED1 in developing cerebellum was first evident in external granule cells and was transiently expressed in the Purkinje cell/granule cell layer in a temporal pattern similar to estrogen receptor-beta. The spatial and temporal distribution of CITED1 mRNA reported here is consistent with a role for CITED1 in the modulation of transcriptional events mediated by steroid hormone and cytokine signaling pathways.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 December 2014.
All research outputs
#20,245,139
of 22,772,779 outputs
Outputs from Developmental Neuroscience
#451
of 507 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,951
of 67,089 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Developmental Neuroscience
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,772,779 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 507 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 67,089 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
