Abstract excerpt
Steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein plays a critical role in steroid hormone synthesis. Tropic hormones induce human StAR gene expression by a cAMP-dependent pathway. Steroidogenic factor-1/adrenal-4-binding protein (SF-1/Ad4BP) plays an important role in the expression of human StAR gene. We investigated the mechanism of cAMP responsiveness in human StAR gene expression in NCI-H295R cells. The StAR...
