Regulation of Steroidogenesis and the Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein by a Member of the cAMP Response-Element Binding Protein Family
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial phosphoprotein, the steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein, is an essential component in the regulation of steroid biosynthesis in adrenal and gonadal cells through cAMP-dependent pathways. In many cases transcriptional induction by cAMP is mediated through the interaction of a cAMP response-element binding protein (CREB) family member with a consensus cAMP response element (CRE;...
