Zebrafish cyp11c1 Knockout Reveals the Roles of 11-ketotestosterone and Cortisol in Sexual Development and Reproduction
28 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
Androgen is essential for male development and cortisol is involved in reproduction in fishes. However, the in vivo roles of cortisol and specific androgens such as 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) in reproductive development need to be described with genetic models. Zebrafish cyp11c1 encodes 11β-hydroxylase, which is essential for the biosynthesis of 11-KT and cortisol. In this study, we generated a zebrafish mutant...
