The Role of the Orphan Nuclear Receptor, Liver Receptor Homologue-1, in the Regulation of Human Corpus Luteum 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type II
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
After ovulation, ovarian 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (HSD3B2) expression increases to enhance the shift of steroidogenesis toward progesterone biosynthesis. Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) is a transcription factor for several genes encoding steroidogenic enzymes. However, the level of SF-1 expression decreases in the human corpus luteum (CL) after ovulation. Liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) is...
