Abstract excerpt
The most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is deficiency of cytochrome P450c21 (21-hydroxylase), which catalyzes the synthesis of adrenal steroids. We have cloned the human P450c21 cDNA into yeast expression vectors under the control of either the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAPDH) promoter or the aldehyde-dehydrogenase (ADH) promoter. P450c21 RNA, protein, and enzyme activity can be...
