Abstract excerpt
A single enzyme, microsomal P450c17, catalyzes the 17α-hydroxylase activity needed to make cortisol and the subsequent 17,20 lyase activity needed to produce the 19-carbon precursors of sex steroids. The biochemical decision concerning whether P450c17 stops after 17α-hydroxylation or proceeds to 17,20 lyase activity is largely dependent on three post-translational factors. First, 17,20 lyase activity is...
