Immunolocalization of steroidogenic enzymes in the vaginal mucous of Galea spixii during the estrous cycle. [PDF]
BackgroundThe synthesis of sex steroids is controlled by several enzymes such as17α-hydroxylase cytochrome P450 (P450c17) catalyzing androgen synthesis and aromatase cytochrome P450 (P450arom) catalyzing estrogen synthesis, both of which must complex ...
