Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of regulatory expression of human cytochrome P-450scc gene by cAMP was investigated in a transient expression system using Y-1 cells (mouse adrenal tumor cell line) and a chimeric DNA composed of the structural gene for bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase and the 5' flanking upstream sequence of the cytochrome P-450scc (cholesterol desmolase) gene which was revealed to contain a DNA...
