Genomic and neural analysis of the estradiol-synthetic pathway in the zebra finch

Sarah E London, David F Clayton BMC Neuroscience 2010, 11:46 (1 April 2010)

Estrogenic steroid-related genes in the zebra finch and other mammals are largely homologous, but steroidogenic enzyme genes might be less diverse in the finch and the neural expression of a cholesterol transport protein gene might be regulated by hearing song.
