Hypothalamic miR-30 regulates puberty onset via repression of the puberty-suppressing factor, Mkrn3.
Mkrn3, the maternally imprinted gene encoding the makorin RING-finger protein-3, has recently emerged as putative pubertal repressor, as evidenced by central precocity caused by MKRN3 mutations in humans; yet, the molecular underpinnings of this key regulatory action remain largely unexplored. We re...
