Abstract excerpt
Three mutants (deletion of E196, G291S, and R483P) of steroid 21-hydroxylase (P450c21) from patients with inherited congenital adrenal hyperplasia had reduced activity toward progesterone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone after transient expression in cultured mammalian cells. In addition, both the E196 deletion and the R483P mutant had shorter half-lives than the wild-type enzyme, whereas the half-life of the G291S...
