Abstract excerpt
ACTH-resistance in four mutant derivatives of a mouse adrenocortical tumor cell line results from a defect that reduces the activity of steroidogenic factor-1 (SF1) thereby preventing expression of the ACTH receptor and other SF1-dependent genes. The SF1 genes from these mutants contain a sequence difference that changes an Ala to Ser at codon 172. Steroidogenic factor-1(S172) represents a polymorphism rather...
