Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the role of P-glycoprotein in steroid secretion in adrenal cells, we have used gene targeting to introduce a null mutation into one allele of the mdr1b gene in mouse Y1 adrenal cells. Characterization of both the wild-type and the mutant cell lines revealed the following. 1) The expression of mdr1b is enhanced by steroid hormones, in a feedback regulatory mechanism. Inhibition of steroid biosynthesis...
