Bovine steroid 21-hydroxylase: regulation of biosynthesis
Biochemistry, 1986A recombinant cDNA clone, PBC21-1, specific for bovine steroid 21-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450 (P-450C21) was identified in a bovine adrenocortical cDNA library, and this identity was confirmed by nucleotide sequencing which revealed significant amino acid homology (77%) with human P-450C21 cDNA.

Genetics of Adrenal Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency*
Endocrine Reviews, 1986Impairment of 21-hydroxylation is the most common enzymatic deficiency resulting in the syndrome of CAH, which may present either in the classical form in infants or in the nonclassical form in older individuals. Variable signs and symptoms of androgen excess are common to both types of the disorder, which are transmitted as autosomal recessive traits ...

Steroid 21 Hydroxylase Deficiency Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2009Steroid 21 hydroxylase deficiency is the most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The severity of this disorder depends on the extent of impaired enzymatic activity, which is caused by various mutations of the 21 hydroxylase gene. This article reviews adrenal steroidogenesis and the pathophysiology of 21 hydroxylase deficiency.

High Frequency of Nonclassical Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1986Nonclassical steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder that is defined by clinical and hormonal criteria that distinguishes it from the classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency. No estimates of the gene frequency of nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, also called attenuated, late-onset, acquired, and cryptic adrenal ...

Frequent Deletion and Duplication of the Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Genes
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1987Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase (21-OHase) deficiency is an HLA-linked disorder resulting from a mutation in the 21-OHase B gene encoding the adrenal cytochrome P450 specific for steroid 21-hydroxylation. To identify polymorphisms associated with 21-OHase deficiency, DNA samples from 22 unrelated patients with this disorder were ...

Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency in congenital adrenal hyperplasia
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2017Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to a group of inherited genetic disorders involving deficiencies in enzymes that convert cholesterol to cortisol within the adrenal cortex. There are five key enzymes involved in the production of cortisol. Of these key enzymes, deficiency of 21-hydroxylase is the most commonly defective enzyme leading to CAH

Heterogeneity of the Bovine Adrenal Steroid 21-Hydroxylase
Endocrine Research, 1989The results presented indicate that purified cytochrome P-45021 which migrated upon SDS gel electrophoresis essentially as a single band, is further separable into different species by ion-exchange chromatography. The P-450 eluted from the CM-Sephadex column at different points along the buffer concentration gradient, exhibited significant differences ...

Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency and the major histocompatibility complex
Human Immunology, 1986Steroid 21-hydroxylase (21-OHase) deficiency is an HLA-linked recessive disorder of cortisol biosynthesis that can occur in several forms which differ in severity. Because they are in genetic linkage disequilibrium with different HLA antigens, the inheritance of these forms is consistent with the existence of several alleles at a single locus.

Cortisol synthesis in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex requires five enzymatic steps: the cholesterol side chain is cleaved to yield pregnenolone, which is dehydrogenated at the 3β position to progesterone, which is successively hydroxylated at the 17α, 21 and 11β positions. The side-chain cleavage and the three hydroxylations are mediated by

Genetics of Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
1987Publisher Summary Congenital adrenal hyperplasia because of steroid 21-hydroxylase (21-OHase) deficiency is one of the most common inborn errors of metabolism. The 21-OHase locus is closely linked to the HLA major histocompatibility complex, and 21-OHase deficiency alleles show characteristic associations with particular HLA antigens and with alleles
