The Orphan Nuclear Receptor, Liver Receptor Homolog-1, Regulates Cholesterol Side-Chain Cleavage Cytochrome P450 Enzyme in Human Granulosa Cells
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
After ovulation, there is a shift in ovarian steroidogenesis from an estrogen-producing ovarian follicle to a progesterone-producing corpus luteum. The first step in human ovarian steroidogenesis is catalyzed by cholesterol side-chain cleavage cytochrome P450 (CYP11A1) enzyme. Steroidogenic factor-1 is an orphan nuclear receptor that regulates several steroidogenic enzymes, including CYP11A1. Liver receptor...
