1 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: . METHODS: cDNAs were cloned into flag-tagged pcDNA3 vector and introduced into human embryonic kidney cells 293T (HEK293T) cells. Protein expression levels of CYP17A1 were then analyzed. And the activities of 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase of CYP17A1 were evaluated by measuring the conversion of progesterone to 17α-hydroxyprogesterone and of 17α-hydroxypregnenolone to dehydroepiandrosterone,...
