Abstract excerpt
Here we describe the identification of a yeast gene (YAH1) with significant homology to a mammalian enzyme, adrenodoxin, encoded in open reading frame (ORF) YPL252C. Adrenodoxin is the second electron carrier that participates in a mitochondrial electron transfer chain that, in mammals, catalyses the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone, the first step in the synthesis of all steroid hormones. The...
