A novel 9-bp insertion detected in steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21A2): prediction of its structural and functional implications by computational methods

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2009
Background Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Detection of underlying mutations in CYP21A2 gene encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase enzyme is helpful both for confirmation of diagnosis and ...

Neurodegeneration: Potential Causes, Prevention, and Future Treatment Options [PDF]

, 2011
Here I advance a hypothesis that neurodegeneration is a natural process associated with aging due to the loss of genetic redundancy following a mathematical model R(t) = R0(1-αe(βC+γI+δEt)t), where the calorie intake (C) and ...

Analysis of Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Gene in Five Unrelated Japanese Patients with 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency

Endocrinologia Japonica, 1987
DNA samples from five unrelated Japanese patients with 21-hydroxylase (21-OHase) deficiency were studied by Southern analysis using human 21-OHase cDNA. Patterns seen after digestion with not only TaqI but also KpnI showed that two out of the five patients were homozygous for a deletion of the 21-OHase B gene.

Highly heterozygous Citrus changshan‐huyou Y. B. Chang originated from ancient hybridization between mandarin and pummelo and displayed distinct tissue‐specific allelic imbalance

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The genus Citrus is characterized by a reticulate evolutionary history with frequent hybridization, making it an intriguing subject for genome evolution investigation. Citrus changshan‐huyou Y. B. Chang (Huyou) is a unique landrace first discovered in Zhejiang Province, China, with premium fruit quality.

ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]

, 1987
The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Pharmacological inhibition of hydroxysteroid 11‐beta dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐βHSD1) after myocardial infarction preserves cardiac function in a translational mini‐pig model

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2236-2255, May 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Plasma glucocorticoids increase acutely after MI, thereafter tissue levels are amplified selectively within cells expressing 11‐ßhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐ßHSD1) that regenerates active glucocorticoids from circulating metabolites.
