Conferring aldosterone synthesis to human CYP11B1 by replacing key amino acid residues with CYP11B2‐specific ones
15 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
Performing residue-swapping experiments between the highly conserved human steroidogenic proteins CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 we recently demonstrated that replacement of specific residues at position 301, 302 and 320 in the aldosterone-producing CYP11B2 protein for such residues that were specific for the highly similar cortisol-producing CYP11B1 protein elevated the 11beta-hydroxylase activity dramatically. Conversely,...
